Trade Analysis
The realized-value outcome ultimately favored Wolves. Indiana received rights to Kendall Brown and sent 2026 second-round pick (least favorable of Heat, Pacers, Spurs picks) (outcome unknown); cash considerations. The Pacers side is graded C, compared with B 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.
