Trade Analysis

The exchange produced broadly comparable realized value for Indiana and Oklahoma City Thunder. Indiana received John Long; 1993 second-round pick (#51-Spencer Dunkley) and sent Russ Schoene; Terence Stansbury. The Pacers side is graded B, 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.
