Slight Raptors Edge

The exchange is best treated as close, with a narrow edge to Raptors, once role, timing and asset quality are considered. Milwaukee received Charlie Villanueva and gave up T.J. Ford; cash. On a hindsight basis, most of the value rests in the players and assets that actually changed hands. 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.
