The 2018 NBA Draft is already up in a frenzy. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting the Atlanta Hawks will trade Luka Doncic’s rights (third pick) to the Dallas Mavericks for the rights to Trae Young, whom they will select at #5. Dallas will also send a future first rounder to the Hawks.
This is a potentially great move by the Mavericks, they clearly love Doncic and head coach Rick Carlisle will love working with a polished player like Luka. Atlanta is making a huge gamble taking Trae Young this high, whom I think has high bust potential.
But, the Hawks will receive a first rounder next year and look to be building for the future with multiple first round picks in 2019.
Atlanta and Dallas have agreed to a deal, league sources tell ESPN. They’ll trade Nos. 3 and 5 picks, sending Luka Doncic to Dallas and Trae Young to Atlanta, sources said. Dallas will send Atlanta a future first.
