I wanted Doncic and while I think he may be an MVP before too long, Trae was brilliant last night. I don’t watch the Hawks often, but I did last night and I was impressed! I know it’s a single game against bad team, but Trae was dominant. He’s a special player and I was totally wrong about him. My dinner for Christmas is some southern fried crow!

kg01 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 (edited) #StopTheCount! Eta. For the record, pretty sure I said Luqua would suck too. Edited December 24, 2020 by kg01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to revisit the Draft night meltdown starting on page 221 of that thread. It was epic! Let's just say I figured it wasn't in my best interest to post how excited I was to get "my guy" at that moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warcore Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 I was one of those PISSED (like, I got white girl wasted) at the trade. I thought Luka was special and thought it was another historic Hawk screw up.... I changed my mind when the pick turned into Cam Reddish. Happy with the outcome now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUhawksfan Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 I thought Luka was the better option at the time. Couldn’t be happier now, the Cam pick is what put it over the top for me too. I’m slightly obsessed with his potential and what I think he can be. All I had to see was that winning 3 against SA in the preseason with Trae. Even though it was preseason it was a big shot in front of a big crowd and he was a rookie. That takes guts and only the top dawgs have it. That’s what separates them. That’s when I knew he was something special and he continues to make momentum changing plays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexmethylphenidate Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 Still have to wait and see if quantity will best quality. Luka already top 2 MVP candidate. While Trae and Cam is good, one will have to be top MVP candidate for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trae's always working on his body and Luka routinely gets criticized for coming in overweight and sluggish. He can turn it around so we'll have to wait and see. He's also more injury prone than Trae who (knock on wood) has been pretty healthy so far in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dejay Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 (edited) Oh man, I was boiling mad over them trading Luka for Trae, as I thought that he would only translate into a 'gotta get mine' chucker (see Davis, Ricky) at best. I didn't start to come around until after the All-Star break of his rookie year when he just did the impossible almost every night. Dallas has their man but losing out on Trae and Reddish is going to prove over time to be an extremely high price tag. Like buying a luxury vehicle that everyone is impressed with but paying the note at payday loan interest rates...

JTB Posted December 25, 2020 Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 Interesting....so I wanted luka or Trae or Ayton....my whole thing that draft was getting a potential franchise scorer to kick off the rebuild but as the draft got closer I was ALL Trae! unlike many of you I was jumping for joy when we traded luka for Trae! I thought from the get go Trae was going to be the real deal and I can admit that I was wrong about luka...very wrong! After watching Lukas full euro games leading up to that draft I thought yeah he will be a good player but he won’t be able to score at will because I couldn’t see him beating players off the dribble. Luka looked to slow to me! Again I was dead wrong but I thought luka would struggle scoring at a high level in the nba and in that draft as I stated earlier I was looking for a franchise scorer more so than a all around talent. in my opinion when you’re rebuilding .....while defense is certainly a important factor top priority, having a special scorer is just as important and needed. Every championship contender need atleast one extremely gifted scorer and in that draft I thought there were two Ayton who we had no shot at (thank goodness lol)...and Trae was the second best scorer of that draft to me at the time not to mention his great playmaking skills as well. Trae was the easy pick for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member QuantumHawkz Posted December 25, 2020 Premium Member Report Share Posted December 25, 2020 I've never wanted Luka. I was still on the Trae Young hype train during his beginning of his college season. Plus, the ownership needed to draft someone that could embody the culture of Atlanta. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
