Trade Analysis
Phoenix acquired three useful players plus the No. 6 pick that became Adrian Dantley for Neal Walk and a second-round pick. Dantley’s Hall of Fame career made the incoming draft asset exceptionally valuable, even though Phoenix later moved that pick. The transaction itself generated a major Suns advantage.
