Trade Analysis
The realized-value outcome ultimately favored Blazers. Indiana received David Calhoun / Corky Calhoun and sent 1980 second-round pick (#32-David Lawrence). The Pacers side is graded C, compared with B- for the aggregate the other team return. The evaluation emphasizes what the players and draft assets actually became, while still accounting for role, timing, contract context and the competitive window. It does not treat every later outcome as something the teams could have perfectly predicted on the transaction date.
