Pacers Win

Indiana captured the clearly stronger realized value in this transaction with San Antonio Spurs. Indiana received Donnie Freeman and sent Marv Winkler; cash. The Pacers side is graded B+, 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.
