Trade Analysis

The exchange produced broadly comparable realized value for Indiana and Kentucky Colonels. Indiana received cash and sent rights to Jim Ligon / Goose Ligon. The Pacers side is graded C+, compared with C+ for the aggregate the other team return. Because this was a lower-impact transaction, the grade is intentionally compressed; modest cash, rights, or late-pick differences are not inflated into franchise-level wins or losses.
