Trade Analysis

Red Rocha gave Syracuse several productive seasons, including an 11.2-point campaign, but Baltimore received Fred Scolari and Alex Hannum. Scolari was the strongest established player in the package, while Hannum also remained an NBA contributor. The combined outgoing value outweighs Rocha’s return and supports a clear Baltimore win.
