Hawks at Mavericks on 12/12
One of the biggest transactions this offseason happened on draft night when the Hawks decided to trade Doncic for Oklahoma guard Trae Young and a future first round pick. The move is a big gamble for Atlanta. Doncic was regarded by some experts as the best player in the draft, while there remain many question marks about how Young’s size and shot selection will translate in the NBA game.
The trade forever links Doncic and Young’s career paths. The December matchup between Atlanta and Dallas will be the first of many to circle on the calendar.
