This is some Harden-Kyrie hybrid level whining.
See this is what confuses me, their numbers are almost identical except for rebounding. I doubt most people would even know which player was which if I just listed their stats out and removed rebounding.The difference between an All-Star and a generational superstar is huge. I think Trae is and will be good, but I think it was still a massive, massive mistake by the Hawks.
Fact that it was only the third-worst mistake of that draft doesn't absolve the FO -- they had the chance to take Luka, and they did not.
I have faith in the young wings, our biggest issue is without a doubt our big men. Without collins suspended we are 30th in the league in def rebounding, which is one of the main reasons are defensive numbers look so god awful. None of these dudes on the team can grab a rebound. On top of that, they just offer zero rim protection.Yeah, the Mavs consistently get more out of their bench than most NBA teams, that's where the aforementioned coaching helps. Trea is a good player and I think he has the potential to eventually lead a championship caliber team, but the degree of difficulty in building the right team around him seems quite high. The first thing they need, is for one of their rookie wings to take a step forward by the end of the year.
It's the pettiness of Harden blended with the nonsensical prose of Kyrie. It's like it was lab grown to annoy me.
Dude was on the court, during a live play own the end the action was at. Repeatedly. He is not immune because he gave his shoes to some kids a few minutes before.

So why is one projected to be a generational superstar, and one is just simply an all-star? Because of the state of each team 20 games into the season?
The only thing I can guess is that it's because luka is bigger. If that's the only reason then okay I guess, I dont agree but I can understand why it's easier for people to have faith in 6'7 wings over small pgs.
The only people being petty in that situation were the Jazz announcers.

BillFromAccounting your thoughtsTrae Young is great IMO. Doncic is still a level above him though. Trae is a star. Doncic a superstar type thing.
Tophat stays winning. He can do no wrong.Jazz stink, Jazz announcers are dorks.
I subscribe to the rule that when you're slapping a 'contending' team around on their own court on the second of a B2B, you get to electric slide around the court to your hearts content.

I can't believe you spoiled that these characters fight, now I'll never read the 5000 One Piece chapters.
You're kinda underrating how crazy it is for Trae to be scoring the way he is at his age. Dude is definitely in the superstar category, but the Luka stuff is making people forget that stuff like this isn't normal.Trae Young is great IMO. Doncic is still a level above him though.

fUCKI can't believe you spoiled that these characters fight, now I'll never read the 5000 One Piece chapters.
You are right. That's why I said Luka is only a step above him. I guess saying star vs superstar created a bigger discrepancy than I intended. Trae is phenomenal.You're kinda underrating how crazy it is for Trae to be scoring the way he is at his age.

Only a true Big Baller could understand these references and parallels.

*nvm Durant is the better answer
Durant even left his teammates for power and embraced snake powers.
Yeah, but you shouldn't be happy. That's kinda the point.You guys have no freaking idea how annoying it is to be a hawks fan and have to hear people trash Trae in favor of luka every god damn day. Luka stans and Mavs are soooooooo annoying. Trust me, we're happy with trae and we're happy with the trade, nothing you say will change our mind. You have your superstar, we have ours.
Mini-rant over
I don't see how Young wins any of these categories. Young's scoring is more impressive because he's doing it with less size, but he isn't a better scorer. The chart even says Doncic is a better outside and inside scorer. So why make Young better scorer? Seems like they just don't want to sweep on Young. And even in athleticism and rim protection? Let's see Young stuff Lebron twice.
