Trade Analysis

The exchange is best treated as close, with a narrow edge to Wolves, once role, timing and asset quality are considered. Milwaukee received Timberwolves' agreement to select Mark Davis (Giles) in the 1989 NBA expansion draft and gave up 1989 second round pick (#34-Gary Leonard). On a hindsight basis, outgoing draft outcomes included Gary Leonard (No. 34). The grade also accounts for transaction scale and whether the outgoing package contained premium first-round or established-player value. The assets exchanged are clear enough to support moderate confidence in this assessment.
