Trade Analysis
Seattle received Eddie Johnson (Lee); 1991 first round pick (#22-LeRon Ellis); 1993 or 1994 first round pick (1994 #6-Sharone Wright) and sent Xavier McDaniel. Seattle holds a modest edge rather than a decisive win. The grading is retrospective: named draft selections are evaluated by what they became, while unknown or still-protected picks are kept conservative. Later unrelated transactions are not credited as if they were guaranteed at the time of this deal. The assessment also weighs roster fit, competitive-window timing, asset depth and whether the incoming value remained useful beyond a short rental.
