NBA Trade Verdict

Pacers Win

Golden State surrendered the more valuable outcome. The Warriors acquired Erick Dampier; Duane Ferrell from Indiana Pacers for Chris Mullin.

August 12, 1997 Golden State Warriors / Indiana Pacers Record confidence: High

Trade Analysis

Erick Dampier became a long-term starter, but Indiana acquired Hall of Famer Chris Mullin. Golden State received Erick Dampier; Duane Ferrell and sent Chris Mullin. The long-term value clearly favored the counterpart. The C+ Warriors grade reflects realized production, role, timing and downstream asset value; the A- the other team grade measures what Indiana Pacers obtained from the same transaction. The judgment is retrospective and does not assume that every later draft outcome was predictable on the trade date.
