Trade Analysis

New York acquired Tim Thomas; Nazr Mohammed and sent Keith Van Horn; Michael Doleac; 2005 second round pick (#37-Ronny Turiaf). New York received useful value, but the other teams finished with the better overall return. The grade emphasizes realized player impact, pick outcomes, roster fit and asset cost rather than assuming the Knicks or the other teams would have made identical downstream draft choices. For lower-profile historical deals, confidence is intentionally conservative because archival detail and transaction mechanics are thinner than for modern trades.
