Luka and Trae offensively would be very close. Close enough to where you can just say that's a wash atm (although Luka hot af right now). So if we then take the other 50% of their game, defence, you HAVE to go with Luka.

Ok I didn't read this thread but I hope someone mentioned the fact that Trae's team fucking sucks.

Ah yes, playing against the great defenses of the G-League Warriors, Spurs, and Cavs. Let's see him do this against the Clippers on Tuesday or the Sixers.

Looks like he can only look good against g league defenses, laughable that people compared him to the top 5 of the league. Trae will be the superior player and got that mamba mentality.

edit - actually time will tell, if doncic can’t stay healthy then who knows and it’s not like either one plays defense, so

Luka's defense has actually been improving through the season. I doubt he'll ever be anything better than average on D... probably will always be somewhat of a liability (kinda like Dirk was), but he is showing marked improvement (just like Dirk did).

Knicks wouldn’t even be a playoff team in the west

comparing that to losing to a title contender in 7 is idiotic but so is thinking trae is better than doncic

It’s really close, but Trae has advanced and is up 1-0 on the best team record wise in the league.

Trae actually really turned his season around after they fired Lloyd Floyd Pierce or whoever. Didn't look that great before (I had him on my fantasy team), but he's been straight balling ever since they got all the locker room stuff sorted out.

Last two decades are irrelevant with this season, the Knicks were a pretty decent team this year and higher seed than the Hawks. Beating them as soundly as the Hawks did was still impressive.

But yeah, I still don't think it gives any more weight to Trae vs Luka in a comparison. If Luka, wasn't strapped to the corpse of Porzingis as his second best player he probably would've beaten the Clippers too.

My thoughts really didn't change on the two from a few years ago, I still think Luka is better across the board.

This is like asking who’s better, Harden or Jokic. Both are great but one is definitely better

Even if the concession is made that Luka is better we need to stop pretending he is lightyears ahead of other young players in the league. Trae is putting up an efficient 30/10 against 2 top 5 defenses in this postseason.

Agreed. There are quite a few excellent young NBA players coming into their own as we speak. Very exciting times to be an NBA fan.

I feel like the Hawks would be in the same spot if you replaced Trae with Luka. But it's close enough that if Cam Reddish - who's still only 21 FWIW - provides any type of contribution then the Hawks are clear-cut winners of that trade.

So you're telling me if in 10 years Trae has 1 ECF appearance and Luka wins 3 titles, the deciding factor of who won the trade is going to be whether Cam Reddish had a couple 16-18 PPG seasons?

Yeah, probably. If that actually happens, I'm guessing that would have more to do with the respective team/coaching around both players than with Luka being THAT much better.
