Why haven't you moved this convo to PMs if you are now clear with the message I was trying to give.
how do you do that? How about I delete the posts, and you do the same if you want to.

Cool with me.

Edit: Did my part.

My bad for the confusion. I'll be more kind and less evasive in the future. Thanks for the sharing that you were offended and I do my part to try to be better next time.

How cool would it have been to have Luka and Trae on you same team. Some tremendous passing.

I think Luka has higher floor than Trae's ceiling is. And I don't think Trae's ceiling is low.

I don't understand why you guys are punishing yourself with these threads? Why not just talking about Trae, instead of Trae & Luka? You've lost the trade, made a blunder - so what. Name one team that has never made a draft blunder. They all have, including the championship winning teams. Whether you lost the trade or not won't be locking you out of contention in the future.


It seems pretty crazy to announce that Atlanta has lost the trade not even halfway through the players rookie year and before the 2nd part of the trade (2019 Mavs 1st) has even been selected.

Is it? Here's a question for you guys. Let's say that Mavs offer trade back, Doncic for Trae Young as the main pieces. What do you feel each team should include in the trade?

Not as insane as saying Doncic's floor is higher than Trae's ceiling.

I like this. He doesn't let the outside noise affect him. He knows who he is and what he's capable of and refuses to allow outsiders to tell him any different. This kid is going to be a superstar in this league. 8-)

Half way through Chris Paul's rookie season, or even half way through Durant's rookie season, you can just tell, and many other, ''ya this guy is good''. Same with Doncic. Doncic so far reminds me of Durant's rookie season.

I'm seeing the same thing with Trae. I'm biased as a fan but I'm seeing elite PG play from the rookie. Obviously, the NBA is seeing the same things I'm seeing because they are running all kinds of traps and defenses against him. The kid has that "it" factor.

It took you to the halfway point in the season to recognize cp3 was good? He almost quadruple doubled against us in his first meeting i believe. Lol.

Hawks will get Mavs 8th pick overall in this draft Bleachkit and the Cavs pick is a wash this year lol.

i HADN'T THOUGHT MUCH ABOUT IT, BUT tRAE'S PRODUCTION is eerily similar to CP3 as a rookie. And they are similar stature as well.

I believe that Trae could have come into the league and hit the ground running had he stayed for an additional year in school.

But that CP3 comp is really comforting.
