Seattle acquired John Tresvant from Cincinnati on February 1, 1969 for Al Tucker. Tresvant immediately became the stronger half-season contributor, averaging 13.6 points and 10.3 rebounds in 26 games for the SuperSonics, then returned for 49 more games in 1969-70 at 12.6 points and 7.4 rebounds. Cincinnati received 28 games from Tucker at 10.8 points and 4.4 rebounds before waiving him the following October. Seattle later sold Tresvant's player rights to Los Angeles, preserving additional value. The realized return therefore favors the SuperSonics.
