Obviously I too thought it was a bad trade for the Hawks, but here are my non-stat observations:
* Trae looked more like a young Steph Curry than anybody that has come since; I was not expecting that despite his frosh year at OU
* Luka needs to slim down. He's fine at 20 playing at that body type, but if he wants to still be playing in 15 years, he's got to transform his body
The Hawks wanted to tank the year and Trae's horrific start last year enabled that. Obviously, Dallas got what they wanted - the centerpiece to build a team around for the next decade.
