NBA Trade Verdict

Spurs Win

The long-term outcome favored San Antonio Spurs; Indiana's return led by draft pick (outcome unknown) did not match what it surrendered.

July 31, 1972 Indiana Pacers / San Antonio Spurs Record confidence: Medium

Indiana Pacers Received

  • Draft Pick draft pick (?-?)
  • Cash cash

Trade Analysis

The long-term value clearly favored San Antonio Spurs over Indiana. Indiana received draft pick (outcome unknown); cash and sent Bob Netolicky. The Pacers side is graded D, compared with A 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.
