Imagine having to show up to work tomorrow as the guy in the Atlanta Hawks front office who drafted Luka Doncic and traded him away. Lot of awkward stares in the break room, I'm guessing.

First playoffs, playin the clips w/ a few hellacious defenders, not flanked by guys that demand attn - was all set up for Luka to struggle. I thought he would get wrongfully beat up if he did. 43/17/13?!?, vs that team, in a playoffs? Its insane how awesome he is.

The crazy thing about all of this is how young Doncic is and how his rise is just starting. It's also insane that three teams passed on him during the 2018 NBA Draft when I specifically told them he was by far the best player in the class. That's a decision those teams will regret for a long, long time.
