Memphis and Phoenix Suns produced broadly comparable realized value in the 2015-06-25 exchange: rights to Andrew Harrison for Jon Leuer.
On June 25, 2015, Memphis sent Jon Leuer to Phoenix for the rights to Andrew Harrison. The Grizzlies acquired a young guard prospect before he had an established NBA rotation role; the Suns obtained a forward who could be evaluated immediately. This was not a transaction involving a first-round selection or a cash payment in the source-led ledger. The two clubs were making different short-term versus developmental choices with one asset apiece.
Harrison's rights let the Grizzlies bring in and develop a ball-handler, with an opportunity for later NBA appearances rather than a guaranteed immediate starter. The transaction gave Memphis a concrete prospect to evaluate over time. The B- grade recognizes a real young-player acquisition but doesn't assume that every skill improvement would translate into lasting team value. The return is best measured by what Harrison actually did with the Grizzlies, not simply his draft pedigree.
Jon Leuer was the ready NBA player in the transaction. Phoenix took his size, scoring potential and existing professional experience instead of waiting for a developmental guard. That return had legitimate usefulness for a roster that could give Leuer frontcourt minutes. The deal presents different kinds of value without an obvious single-player home run. Neither incoming asset was a franchise centerpiece, explaining the matched hindsight grades rather than an artificially declared winner.
Even Trade. Memphis receives B- for Andrew Harrison's draft rights and the ensuing guard-development opportunity. Phoenix also earns B- for adding Jon Leuer, an NBA-ready frontcourt player. Both clubs obtained practical assets with different timelines and neither created a decisive advantage from the exchange.
