    When Atlanta made that trade, my first thought was "Oh oh, here they go again!" They had a shot at greatness, but that's Atlanta's problem. They will always be a bottom feeder team. They lack the ability to recognize great talent and they only responded to emotion and hype.
    EDIT: Congrats to Atlanta! Your team is no longer a bottom feeder. It appears that the Trae pick ended up working out after all. I still think that Luka is a better player, but Trae works well in your system.

      @Nimbus Shields @prazertv the GM of Atlanta was assistant GM of Golden State when they drafted Steph, Klay, and Draymond. The head GM of GSW that drafted them and built that team is on staff in Atlanta as head special advisor. It's not directionless it's on year 2 of a rebuild. The front office that is rebuilding it is essentially the team that built the current GSW team. Anyone that compares the current Hawks to past Hawks teams doesn't know what they are talking about. The ownership changed like 4 years ago, after Bud screwed up and let the entire 60 win team leave (among other mistakes) the entire front office was stripped of power and the team that built the GSW dynasty was given reign about 2 years ago.
      The decision to trade Luka for Trae and a first rounder was a decision made by Travis Schlenk and Larry Riley (GM team that built GSW, Riley Curry (steph's daughter was named after Larry Riley btw) with heavy influence fro. Jerry West, who is a close mentor of Travis Schlenk also. Trae was drafted almost exclusively for his passing (NOT SHOOTING) and his ceiling (which we wont come close to seeing until about 4 years)

    As a Hawks fan I was pissed that we passed on him and took Young, but.... I think this was more about taking a huge chance at him becoming a star (one we havent had in the ATL since Nique) and getting people to the games. Now Luka was way safer, but Young has a higher ceiling to me, but also def. bust potential. That being said, way too early to discuss who won and lost this trade. Give both like 3-4 years.

Could be very wrong, but he just strikes me as someone with very limited upside. (He will be the best rookie tho, no doubt)

    At the draft they said this is a mistake probably one of the worst trades of the century Trae young will be a average pg at best Luka will be the next generational talent-✅
    During summer league was doubted and called a bust before even stepping on to a nba court-✅
    First half of his rookie year see what we said he’s a straight bust Atlanta will regret this trade for years that gm needs to go -✅
    2nd half he’s better than we thought but he’s never gonna be a luka Doncic he’s never gonna be a all star or anything but he’s decent at best- ✅
    Rookie of the year see we told u it wasn’t going be close luka should have won unanimously he’s that much better it was never close to begin with -✅
    2nd year Makes all star starters team why is trae young a all star starter look at butler and all these other stars this is just ridiculous to have him as a starter look at the record he isn’t deserving of being on the team-✅
    2nd year Trae is killing it but i don’t know if the hawks are a great team look at luka he’s putting up great numbers and actually has his team in the playoffs and I don’t know if Trae can be a leader and a number one scoring option on a championship team I just don’t think he can get them close to the playoffs -❓
    People keep asking me if I feel pressure. But I don't feel pressure. I realize there's a lot on my plate, a lot of expectations for me to come in and win and do certain things. But I'm just playing the way I always have.- Trae Young

    No it isn't. You need to wait 3 to for seasons to judge. You need to know what he becomes plus Trae and what they get for the Mavs picks. If Trae become a Steph and that pick becomes a Klay they win the trade. They are in the East and have a easier chance to pop than in the West. Give it time. This can't be predicted for a few years

    @z0tw Před 5 lety +1

    Trading doncic for young was a great business decision that fits great for the future if the team.
    Atlanta was looking to trade dennis prior to the draft anyway and was looking for suitors all the way back in january. They needed a replacement at the position and young was the most tantalizing and talented player at the position in the draft.
    Drafting doncic and keeping him would not make sense for a few reasons. Hawks still have a near immovable bazemore contract and prince starting. They are still hoping out for dorsey and bembry to show they belong. If the kept doncic it was have made a couple of the recent picks atlanta has made a waste. On top of this where are the 30 minutes a night going to come from? Prince and bazemore were two of the best players from laast years team anyway so they will demand minutes from the get go.
    Aside from this the hawks nabbed a future pick feom dallas which has a high chance to convey in 2019.
    Lastlyatlanta isnt looking to win this year but develop all the talent. Huerter doesnt look ready right now due to his recent handwrist injury and spellman has been solid but isnt starter material yet but could be in the future.
    Hawks are looking for a pair of top 10 picks next year with the hopes of one of them being top 5. Bill simmons doesnt have an inkling what atlanta is doing because he doesnt follow the teams moves rumors or position in the league from a money standpoint.
