Yea Schroeder is gone. TY plus another pick here in the first.... plus a future first rounder next year from Dallas. They gotta rebuild, isn’t the best way how?
Nope. Get your rational thinking and long-term visions out of here.

If you think Trae Young was the sole goal of this rebuild, you pay about as much attention as I expected. Why do you think we're trying to get future 1st round picks? This is clearly the long play because Schlenk doesn't think Doncic is the superstar social media is making him out to be, and I agree with that.
Yet, he makes a trade most wouldn't, putting him out on a limb the majority of professionals in his position in the league wouldn't venture on to. It's a long play that will include a protected pick in a meager draft year and a potential boom/bust in TY.

Oh, I agree because our media and fanbase are largely dipshits who don't care about basketball.
The general consensus of the basketball world, not just Atlanta, is going to be that this was quite a risky move, so this is a pretty amusing conclusion.

I just don't see any player in next year's draft after #1 that is particularly good.

Only Atlanta could F up the #3 draft pick. FML

What, you think Doncic was a sure fire superstar? Every player in this draft is a boom/bust potential. Its like recruiting, outside of a guy or two every year, it's a crapshoot.

He’s staked his spot as the ASB basketball guru. If you question him you’re part of the problem

Sad part is I’m already over it. Sucking is what we do and we’re damn good at it

We'll do what we usually do. Win just enough to not get in the lottery but not do anything exciting on the court. Or now as we've seen, get a lottery pick and throw it in the trash.

Because I don't jump at the first opportunity to trash the new GM over one draft pick, I'm some holier than thou troll. K

I don't, but the certainty as to Doncic, per league conventional wisdom, was higher than TY. Hence him being highly coveted at the #3.

to gift the #3 pick to Dallas?

Seems like a win to me. Young is a point guard, controls the ball, he doesn't have to be a prolific scorer. Next year we get another first round pick. What am I missing

To be fair, they listed and showed the 22 or 23 1st round picks from foreign counties/leagues and I thought I heard them say that only 1 ever made it to the NBA all stars.
ETA: maybe that was just in Mavericks history and it was dirk?

What they said was of the 5 euro league players selected top 3, only 1 (Pau Gasol) has gone on to be an all star.

Was Yao Ming never an all star? I though billions of Chinese people made him the record setting vote getter.

Sorry I had euro league and changed it to foreign born. It's only including those from euro league.
