I mean, not to say Trae Young is a scrub or anything cause he isn't but the level of production by Luka just hits differently brehs. That statline from last night was fukking ridiculous.

Trae can only play one side of the ball no matter how good he may become. On a team that's not having a winning record. So he isn't affecting winning.

While doncic is doncic. Safe to say Atlanta lost that trade. I know all atl brehs would never do that trade again if they knew what we know now.

The Cam Reddish pick will be the downfall of the trade. If that pick would have resulted in an all-star caliber player, it wouldn't be looked at as a loss from ATL's end
The light was starting to come on offensively for Reddish before Covid ended the season and he’s already there defensively

Luka is not that great defensively and the Mavs outscore their opponents by the same amount with Luka in the game or on the bench. The Mavs were just smarter with surrounding Luka with a lot of veteran players while pretty much all of the Hawks best players are 24 and under. I'd clearly take Luka over Trae but their team success right now is more a function of Mavs doing a better job of surrounding Luka with the proper talent.
