Slight Warriors Edge

Golden State turned Jeff Foster's rights into Vonteego Cummings and a protected first that became Troy Murphy. Golden State received rights to Vonteego Cummings; first round pick (lottery protected) (2001 #14-Troy Murphy) and sent rights to Jeff Foster. Golden State came away with the better overall value, though the counterpart retained a credible return. The B+ Warriors grade reflects realized production, role, timing and downstream asset value; the B 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.
