Is it ok to stop pretending that that the Luka/Trae trade was a win-win for both Dallas and Atlanta yet?

For years now we’ve had to put up with this “it’s a win-win trade” narrative. The main argument for it being a win-win was that Atlanta got another first for it - that first turned out to be Cam Reddish who is no longer on the team and can’t even crack the Knicks rotation.

I’d say the gap between Luka and Trae has always been fairly sizeable but now the gap between the two of them is greater than ever, Luke’s moved into best player in the league conversation whilst Trae is having his worst season since his rookie year.

The argument that the Hawks receiving Reddish made it a fair trade never made much sense to me but now he’s been moved on for practically nothing the argument is completely dead in the water.

They definitely didn’t fuck up as bad as the Kings, probably didn’t fuck up as bad the Suns but it was absolutely still a fuck up. Luka in that Hawks team puts them right up there in Championship contention
