Trade Analysis
Golden State acquired the pick eventually used on Quinten Post while moving Cory Joseph and minor draft value. Golden State received 2024 second round pick (least favorable of (a) least favorable of Cavaliers, Jazz, Pacers picks (b) less favorable of Bulls, Pelicans (c) Bucks pick) (#52-Quinten Post) and sent Cory Joseph; 2025 second round pick (Hornets pick protected top 55) (not exercised); cash considerations. The two sides received broadly comparable value once role, longevity, draft outcomes and context are considered. 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.
