Trade Analysis

Phoenix acquired Charlie Scott’s rights for cash and future considerations, with Paul Silas sent to Boston in September to complete the deal. Scott became an All-Star-level Suns scorer, while Silas later supplied championship-caliber defense and rebounding for Boston. Both teams received major value suited to their competitive windows.
