TSN says trade involving Mike Bantom and Bob Love, but we know of no such trade. We do show that the Braves owed the Nets a 1979 fourth round pick as compensation for signing Bantom as a free agent in 1977. That transaction itself is very odd because (1) the Braves traded Bantom to the Pacers on the same day they signed him and (2) it seems like compensation for Bantom should have been more than just a fourth round pick.

Nets media guide says Nets "acquired Mike Bantom from Seattle in exchange for the Sonics' 1979 4th round pick (James Donaldson) and cash" on 1977-01-27
