Until Trae is tall enough to get rebounds, the people who aren’t ever watching either team play aren’t going to care. You could get 8 uncontested rebounds a game on one of the worst rebounding teams in the nba and nobody cares as long as the stat sheet looks great

He’s right……… Trae needs a dude like AD to compete with the big boys. No shame in it alot of stars need guys like AD

r/NBA also thinks Ja is better because he dunks and plays recklessly. Nothing says you’re better because you get over 5 uncontested defensive rebounds a game. That sub is too dense to realize they’re the nephews they always talk about

Forget this year’s stats. Take an anonymous poll of every nba head coach. Guess who they all want? This year, next year, every time. It’s not slamming anyone. The problem is the question itself. Apples and Oranges. Just because of their draft/trade day connection doesn’t mean that comparing these two makes any sense at all. You don’t freaking compare Tom Brady with TJ Watts because they’re not really playing the same game even if they had been traded for one another. Enough.

You went into the weekly 9k upvote Luka better than Trae thread and tried to have a convo. Doing the lord’s work.

I mean.. I love Trae but… C’mon… Luka is better

Stop being obtuse on purpose. Luka is clearly better, doesn’t mean Trae isn’t great too. Move on

I’m sure Trae is a nice guy. But people need to stop acting like it was an even trade.
Trae will never give us 10 rebounds + defense every night.

I’ll be honest, as a die hard Hawks fan I don’t have an issue with people thinking that Luka is objectively a better player.
With that being said, what I DO have a problem with is people acting like Atlanta trading Luka was the biggest fumble in the history of sports. Atlanta once passed on Chris Paul for Marvin Williams. Trading Luka and getting a perennial all-star and a draft pick in return is not nearly as bad as that.
Literally nobody gives the Suns or Kings shit for not drafting Luka when they had the opportunity before the Hawks when the Hawks at least ended up with a franchise player. You would think Atlanta traded Luka for a complete bust with the way NBA fans talk.
My biggest gripe lately is that nobody can recognize Luka’s greatness without dragging Trae and the Hawks into it. I don’t remember seeing anybody give the Hornets hell *every single time* Kobe had a good game. Yet when Luka puts up crazy stats, Trae gets fresh slander every time.
