Slight Warriors Edge

Jamal Crawford and Al Harrington each offered scoring but limited long-term value, making the swap close, with a narrow edge to Warriors. Golden State received Jamal Crawford and sent Al Harrington. The two sides received similar value, with a narrow realized-value edge to Warriors once role, longevity, draft outcomes and context are considered. The actual-team grades are B for the Warriors and B- for the Knicks, reflecting realized production, role, timing and downstream asset value. The judgment is retrospective and does not assume that every later draft outcome was predictable on the trade date.
