Definitely. Why are NY getting rid of him???
Great D - especially if he is in a situation where he could win a chip - has been a good shooter at times.
P.S Atlanta have not drafted well for... I can't remember how long. I include Trae in that group... most overrated player in the NBA.
They traded Luka Doncic for Trae Young and another pick that became Cam Reddish. It was a ballsy trade, there was plenty of risk with Luka at the time, getting two picks for him could have worked out well, but it didn't.
I thought it was a horrid trade at the time and I thought Luka was a sure thing. I think I even suggested moving Brown and Tatum for him at the time. The way things have worked out I think that would've been an over pay but a lot of people thought Luka was a generational talent before the draft.
To be honest, Trae Young turned out better than I thought. He has been injured this year but he has established himself as a star player. The second pick (Reddish) was a total whiff for ATL but there was potential that they could have gotten a second rotation level player. They didn't of course, as drafting is a crap shoot.
As to Luka, he has fulfilled all the promise, that is for sure. Ayton (PHO) and Bagley (SAC) were taken ahead of Luka. He had questions regarding his draft value. I was very surprised that ATL did trade him but if you consider that PHO thought Ayton was better and SAC thought Bagley was better, it is not so surprising that ATL thought that Young plus another pick (likely a good pick) was worth the trade. All 3 of these teams now wish they had just taken Luka of course.
Actually, in terms of draft hit percentages, having 2 (Young and Doncic) of the 3 turn out to be stars and only one (Reddish) to be a miss, is actually pretty good. Reddish was a 10th pick. Think if Reddish had turned out to be say as good as Marcus Smart. Young has turned out about as good as Brown. Doncic turned out to be the better value even in that better case hypothetical but there was no guarantee of that. Dallas rolled the dice and won. ATL took the safer route and lost.
