Slight Suns Edge

The exchange produced close realized value for Indiana and Phoenix Suns, with a narrow edge to Suns. Indiana received 1981 second-round pick (#37-Al Leslie); 1982 second-round pick (#43-Jose Slaughter); Suns' relinquishment of the right to swap 1983 first-round picks and sent Dudley Bradley. The actual-team grades are B- for the Pacers and B for the Suns. 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.
