NBA Trade Verdict

Pelicans Win

New Orleans acquired Aaron Gray from Chicago Bulls for Devin Brown.

January 25, 2010 Chicago Bulls / New Orleans Pelicans Record confidence: Medium

Trade Analysis

The transaction leans New Orleans, but the advantage is modest rather than decisive. New Orleans received Aaron Gray and sent Devin Brown in the transaction with Chicago Bulls. The initial grade weighs realized player production, draft outcomes, retained asset value, role, timing and transaction scale rather than simply counting pieces. It also separates direct franchise value from value a counterparty created only through later unrelated trades. Confidence is moderate while the remaining transaction details are independently verified.
