Nah sometimes it doesn't work out and if you're in a rebuild you dont want to risk having a star that flops over taking a good option for team play - if you take too many top talents you have personnel issues because they wanna play minutes, especialy their first few years
Sacs head coach wanted Luka bad, but the owner wanted Bagley. Huge mistake. He would have worked with Fox, because he has worked with Brunson and Kyrie
I'm Lakers all the way but no doubt Luka has a bright NBA career ahead of him and is in my top five of favorite NBA players to watch in the league right now he has shades of so many different greats mixed in with his own style of play I'm hoping he retires with a couple rings definitely hard to see this guy going on and not winning any
@@JuiceWRLD78767couldn't ask for a better player to build a team around I'm actually happy for you guys seeing Dirk go sucked as it was but he put in his work it's time for Luca to take that torch and light some new fires for sure
He has to lose some weight first. He is not as fast as he used to be. I reckon though that when he gets a real title shot, he will have even bigger motive.

@vg1024 Right- He moved put of his home at the age of 13 to play for Real Madrid, not knowing a word of Spanish and barely any English- His dedication to basketball is just amazing to see.
People didn’t value euro league success as much then as they do now. I know it wasn’t that long ago but Luka was a huge factor for how we see euro league /other league players now
We in former Yugoslavia know why Kings didnt take him.Because his father is good friend with Divac ( who was president of Kings in that time ) and they knew that Dallas is the best solution for Luka to play as much as he play,in Kings he needed to switch with Fox and Bogdanović.
Tre Young was a passable alternative at the time since they also got Cam Reddish out of the deal. Marvin Bagley and Deandre Ayton were absolutely insane choices at the time given how important having a lead ball handler who can shoot is in the NBA.
No excuses for anyone. Dallas thought they hit the jackpot the year before with Dennis Smith Jr. They tried to make it work with both, but it wouldn't happen, so they chose to trade Smith. If that's the result, you live with it. But you DON'T pass up the opportunity to acquire a generational talent. Sacramento and Phoenix fumbled it. Atlanta at least got a very nice player in Young.
You don’t know who’s gonna be great when you draft. It’s not an exact science. You’re hoping they work out. It’s easy saying they dropped the bag after the fact
@@spenser6353 Luka Doncic pre-draft: - 3 year-old veteran on the best team of the world outside the NBA - 3 times first young players team (2016-2018) - 2 times best young player ACB league (2017, 2018) - 2 times Euroleague rising star (2017, 2018) - Best team of the Eurobasket (2017) - ACB regular season MVP (2018) - Euroleague Final Four MVP (2018) - Euroleague MVP (2018) You can't know, but you can see the writing on the walls. Or. You know. Do what everyone except the Mavericks did and willingly ignore it.
"they had Fox, They needed a big" Once again, NBA Draft Rule #1 Take best player available, not what the position you need to fill. Follow this simple rule and Doncic goes to Sacramento, MJ goes to Portland.
It’s true, his resume was second to none. This was just before international talents really took over the league. Hyped up euro talents like Hezojna, Nitilikina, Bender for example were fresh in everyone’s minds at the time, creating a stereotype that picking one was risky. Than again hyped top euro prospects weren’t a commonality just yet.
I understand phx choosing Ayton, with the history and all. But kings man, why the hell😂 even if divac had some beef, you dont try and get past that? Like bruh
guess his resume as a young boy playing with big men still doesnt resonate before in the NBA generation that time.. then suddenly, some of NBA top players were from outside USA..
I was right about Luka, I wondered how there couldn't be 1 pick 2018 when I already saw in Euroleague and EuroBasket how talented Luka was and that year there were no players of Luka's level available. And Suns could have Luka and Booker. And after that they would have drafted a big player in the next turn. I just don't understand why Suns pick Ayton. 🤔
Mark Cuban drafted Trae young for his potential and trade value, at the end of the day he's a 6ft point guard who's not rly bouncy and his shot is easily contestable
Naa but they pick on behalf of a team. Mark wanted Luka but knew he was valued at a top 3 pick so he needed to make a trade etc. hawks wanted young but knew they could get value for their number three pick
Watching Sports for the last 20 plus years, you realize there's way more bust, then there are superstars. It's actually kind of amazing that anybody makes it.
Divac who was the kings GM at the time didn’t want to draft Doncic because divac and Doncic Sr didn’t get along. Divac knew how good luka is but knew if he came to Sacramento his time as GM would be limited….. turns out, his time was limited either way….. I am saying this as a huge Divac fan and kings fan from 01-05.
The nba didn’t want Luka any other place but Dallas to replace the European star who would be leaving. It’s business entertainment based just like I told people two years ago Victor Wembanyama would be going to the Spurs. Just like they know where Cooper Flagg will ge going. There’s no way the nba would pass up tge timing of Dirk abd Luka.
He stays healthy? It’s only a matter of time. He isn’t even in his prime yet. He’s like 24. He has so so much room to grow & develop his game. If he stays healthy, he will be one of the greatest ever. His achievements already speak for themselves. Luka Legend.
There will never be a white man as the face of the nba. Come on dude, black people would have a fit. Jerry west and pistol were the only two white men ever that were the face of the nba. And even back then, the black players were bitching and complaining.
Luka will probably be top no. #30 when he retires, but won't be the face of the league after Lebron retirement. I haven't really seen Luka achieve much but being in 5 all nba team and 4 all stars games. The whole league will be revolving around wemby after Lebron retires.
@@zionempire2780 yeah... maybe so. I still think the international market is where the NBA is focusing. So many are big stars back in there home countries.
Fuck no, Luka doesn’t care about the nba outside of getting paid, he doesn’t want to be in America, and he doesn’t even watch games he prefers to watch euro basketball. If anything the face of the league will be a European that actually wants to be here and is happy to be here. Like Giannis.
Sometimes hard knowing Luka would’ve played here in sac. Probably wouldn’t have worked with Fox, and I’m glad we kept him, just weird thinking what could’ve been
June 7th 24. Day after finals game 1. This is where defining moments create legacys . To be real i would like to see Luka first ring and ky 2nd. Tatum & brown this is their 2nd finals series! they are going to have dog fight! may best men win 💯
Both of those other 2 picks are inexcusable. Not just talent-wise, but at that point, either of those teams could have slotted him into the 1 or 2 spot and been effective. Booker and Luka fresh off Booker dropping 70? The Kings could have drafted Luka and took off, they were a couple trades away from excellence back in 2018.
People don’t realize that that where you get drafted in the draft isn’t all about how good the player is… it’s about what team needs who and who will fit on that team
Obviously ATL messed up by passing on Luka, but Sacramento probably made the right call at the time. They had a PG in fox, Luka was a European prospect which doesn’t get the most trust by scouts and teams, and there was no way to tell if his slower paced playstyle would mesh well with the league. At the time Luka would have been a gamble for the Kings
Teams were afraid Luka was gonna be another international bust like some were in the past. Players like Thon Maker or Dragan Bender were high lottery picks (4 and 10) who had great upside that never developed in the nba. The Suns have an impressive resume of draft busts from the last 12 years or so (Booker is an exception)
This is why i dont think the hawks lost the luka trade. Because its pretty tough to tell whether trae whether luka or trae wouldve been worse, had luka ended up in atlanta.
Luka and Booker Luka and Fox Phoenix hired Luka’s National team Coach but selected DeAndre Ayton? Yeah I’m pretty sure Vlade wanted Luka but the fall of Mario Hezonja (Orlando Magic 5th pick in 2015) made the NBA GMs were hesitant on Luka!!
Well, then in 2022 he became the proud owner of the Suns, who had picked Ayton #1; spared Sacramento (for the time being) and scored 73 against the Hawks, that traded him for Trae. His most recent acquisition is the Minnesota Timberwolves, so now Booker has two new siblings in Gobert and Edwards. Luka is cold teaching lessons.
Bulls got fooked in that draft draw. I was showing my boy clips of Luka.. they wasnt saying he was going #1 but he was a lottery pick. Bulls missed out, who knows if they would have seen it either.. but dude had cold ass clips overseas, i thought highly of zion too but who didnt outta high school with those highlights

The Suns have an impressive resume of draft busts from the last 12 years or so (Booker is an exception)
This is why i dont think the hawks lost the luka trade. Because its pretty tough to tell whether trae whether luka or trae wouldve been worse, had luka ended up in atlanta.
If luka get in the gym forreal he would be insane
Song name?
Imagine luka and Gianni’s or luka and ad
Is it only me or do yall think it’s weird he had that watch on before he got drafted same colors as Mavericks, primary and secondary
Or it could Real Madrid's colors who he played for before being drafted?
that trae young luka draft trade will forever be a W for both franchises idk luka in dallas n trae in ATL just fits idk
Bagley over Doncic... worst decision ever
Luka and Booker
Luka and Fox
Phoenix hired Luka’s National team Coach but selected DeAndre Ayton?
Yeah I’m pretty sure Vlade wanted Luka but the fall of Mario Hezonja (Orlando Magic 5th pick in 2015) made the NBA GMs were hesitant on Luka!!
Hes gonna be the goat
Please stop
If dallas wins an NBA champs they should get another superstar or atleast add some bigs
Derek Lively is an outstanding big and their other big is good too. Getting ready to become NBA Champs. Kyrie is a super star also🏆
Just wanted to be drafted into the NBA I like that.
Well, then in 2022 he became the proud owner of the Suns, who had picked Ayton #1; spared Sacramento (for the time being) and scored 73 against the Hawks, that traded him for Trae. His most recent acquisition is the Minnesota Timberwolves, so now Booker has two new siblings in Gobert and Edwards. Luka is cold teaching lessons.
Bulls got fooked in that draft draw. I was showing my boy clips of Luka.. they wasnt saying he was going #1 but he was a lottery pick. Bulls missed out, who knows if they would have seen it either.. but dude had cold ass clips overseas, i thought highly of zion too but who didnt outta high school with those highlights
wow the Kings could’ve done something insane that’s crazy Luka + Tyrese Haliburton they would’ve never traded him
