Normally, when you trade a superstar in the NBA, you get 75 cents on the dollar.
I think that the Pels got 85 cents on the dollar for Davis, so in that sense, it was a good trade for them.
You will still go broke, of course, trading dollars for cents, so this isn't a winning strategy over the long term. But considering that they had to trade him after the shitshow at the end of last season, they got a not-horrible return.
