It was so dumb and racially motivated. They wanted to market the black guy to ATL and chose that over talent and potential. Traes peers can't stand the guy. He is never invited to the all star game or Olympics. Sad.

They’d rather have the next Carmelo Anthony than the next Larry Bird

The goal for Ressler isn't to win a title. It's to sell tickets. He's got his tickets sold with Trae. He doesn't GAF about winning.

You're spot on, though. Luka was too white to sell to the ATL scene.

Lol what? Trae Young was one of the best players in college basketball the year he entered the draft. Not to mention NBA GMs have always been a little hesitant to take Euro guys that high, although that seems to be changing nowadays

That is a dumb arse take- Hawks hired Golden State’s #2 man to be their GM and he was thinking Young was the next Curry, they molded the whole team/offense around that.

And don’t forget the kings made the bigger mistake that draft.
