Trade Analysis
The realized value clearly favors New Orleans. New Orleans received Brad Miller; 2013 second round pick (#52-Lorenzo Brown); 2016 second round pick (#35-Rade Zagorac) and sent 2017 second round pick (protected top 55) (not exercised) in the transaction with Minnesota Timberwolves. 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.
