With the 2019 NBA Draft right around the corner (and its lottery even closer), the Atlanta Hawks, and all teams set to make choices in the lottery, are gearing up for the most important time of the year. Last year, the Atlanta Hawks made a wild trade with the Dallas Mavericks that sent Luka Doncic to the Mavs for Trae Young.
Though Hawks GM Travis Schlenk was eviscerated at the time for the move, it worked out well for both teams, so much so that both Doncic and Trae should be named co-Rookies of the Year at season’s end.
