Shameless stat pad and tank by Doncic

This Luka guy doesn't look like a star to me. Looks like a ball dominant gun! Enjoy him Dallas! I'm happy with Trae in a Hawk uniform!

We're no better. But we call it competitank when we do it.

One game against Cleveland means nothing. He's not stat padding. He's doing what the coaches are asking of him, and having to shoulder all the ball handing responsibilities for this garbage roster, all while the while nursing a knee injury. Yet still averaging 21/7/5. What do you want from him? Don't make the trade turn you into a Luka hater, that's just lame.

You should probably go back and read my previous 5 or 6 comments for context on the stat padding (I document it well) and the 120 points is an argument against people stating Dallas has a bad roster and Luka elevates it. He's greatly slowing their pace, hurting them defensively and honestly him sitting out was the best thing for us. Every Dallas win is a Hawks win at this point.

Your argumentation is great. Mavs has won first game after the trades without him and you will probably be shocked, if I tell you that Cleveland’s DEF rating is far the worst in the league. Mavs still needed incredibly high 46% for 3 to win by 5 points.

Hawks board is the only team board in RealGM, where posters constantly bash other teams rookie. Congrats.

Don't come onto another team's board, especially one where you've been warned already, and criticize its posters. You're already on thin ice here and don't seem to have made too many friends on this forum with your posts.

He literally got 2 assists in the final 11 seconds to get a triple double. When have we done anything like that?

29 points on 26 shots???? Looks like an inefficient volume scorer to me

We don't let any of our players outside of the 2nd stringers get shameless stats. LP is against that

Yes it was wrong. I apologise. I’m not sure that’s the only thing wrong in this thread. But I guess, you can have whatever rules you want at home. Bye.

Each NBA team's top storyline to watch in last month of regular season, from chasing seeds to Warriors fine-tuning for playoffs

Every team has something to play for in the final stretch of the season, even if they're out of the playoff race

Atlanta Hawks

Will they get Dallas' first-round pick?

Swapping Luka Doncic for Trae Young on draft night was looking pretty bad early in the season when Doncic was lighting the NBA on fire. But Young has developed into the potential future All-Star the Hawks thought he would be, and the sweetener in the deal is the Mavericks' 2019 first-round pick ... as long as Atlanta gets it. At first it looked like the Mavs might make the playoffs, which would have devalued the pick considerably, but now the Hawks have the opposite problem -- if Dallas' pick falls in the top five, the Mavs keep it and it rolls over to next season with the same protection. Given Doncic's progression and a potentially healthy Kristaps Porzingis, you'd have to think their pick next year would be late-lottery at best. So for the Hawks, they're hoping the Mavs' pick lands right at No. 6 and theirs falls above that, giving them two top-six picks to help continue to build their emerging roster.

Just to clarify.. We are talking top 6 after the draft lottory right? I mean if Dallas lands in bottom 5 at the end of the season record wise it is based on the position after the ping pong balls?

^Correct.

Even if the Mavs finish with the 5th worse record, they can end up with the 9th pick in the draft after the lottery so tanking never made any sense

Or the opposite can happen.. They could very well still land in the top 5 and us out of the top 5

Exactly. Their chances of keeping the pick increase notably by 'falling' to the #6 pick rather than treading in the 8-10 range.

Honestly i'm not a fan of this draft at all outside of the top 3. I won't be heart broken if we don't get the Dallas pick this year. I just don't want to see Dallas get the top pick. As long as Dallas doesn't get Zion I'm ok with the result.

Top 3? This is a 2 man draft. Williamson and Morant! I want no part of RJ Barrett. Let him be someone else's problem!

2019 first round draft pick from Dallas
Dallas' 1st round pick to Atlanta protected for selections 1-5 in 2019, 1-5 in 2020, 1-3 in 2021 and 1-3 in 2022 and unprotected in 2023 [Atlanta-Dallas, 6/21/2018] From RealGM

I know it was a bit confusing to talk about top4 while the pick is top5 protected, but as long as ATL keep the 5th worst record, and DAL finish at 6th, 7th or 8th, they can't get the 5th pick.
Only the team with the 5th worst record can get it, or one of the team with the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th worst record by being jumped by a team from 5th to 14th
With the 6th worst record, DAL can get the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th or 10th pick, but not the 5th.

It's better to have DAL out of one the 5 first pick than able to get any of the 5 first picks, that's all.
