Trade Analysis
Indiana finished with a modest but defensible realized-value edge over Sacramento Kings. Indiana received rights to Orlando Johnson and sent cash considerations. The Pacers side is graded C+, 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.
