As of 2021…Here’s my scorecard:
Trae>Luka by razor 🪒 thin margins…

There are 2 Athletes who are completely unique to their respective sports: Lamar Jackson QB of the Baltimore Ravens NFL fame and Trae Young PG of ATL Hawks fame…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Lamar is a threat to score on every play during a possession. RPO’s (Run-Pass-Option). It seems rather simplistic until you have to dig into the weeds…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Trae Young is the best PG in the NBA at KPO’s (Kick-Penetrate-Option)…Russ is the greatest triple double threat of the 21st century and has a mature game…CP3 also not as aerial gifted like Trae, has Book, an elite combo guard and Ayton, a RRR (Run-Rebound-Roll) Frankenstein…Luka is a 6’’8 virtuoso yet, he’s half a foot taller than Trae and finished almost a full assist behind him…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
He can run KPOs going North to South and East to West…he can create different options based on his speed and creativity
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
He’s not an aerial player, he’s not adept at necessarily creating space due to athleticism…however…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
He’s got flutter speed like a hummingbird…Zit creates opportunities for KPOs that’s so unique…

Hey, Sean. I think Trae is greatly unappreciated but if they were to re-draft that class, there’s noboby who wouldn’t take Luka #1 based on what we’ve seen from him. I also think there’s no way the Hawks would make that trade for Trae if given a second chance.
-

Dallas really wanted Luka, they gave up an extra 1st…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
That 1st was used on Cam Reddish…
-
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Hindsight is given more weight than hindsight…by that logic Nash and Kobe should have been taken ahead of A.I. …
-
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Young got the Hawks to an ECF and took the champs to 6 games, 2 of which Young did not play…Ayton was on a Finals team…
-
![Profile picture of Magicman]()
Luka has yet to get out of the 1st Round…
-
![Profile picture of LakerTom]()
Re-drafting is always fun. The benefit of the time machine makes mince meat of reality. There were clearly 12 teams who would have taken Kobe in any redraft instead of #13
Not meaning to take anything away from Trae but Luka is a generational talent. Credit the Mavs for their faith and excellent overseas scouting.
My only question about Luka is he is already posting such great numbers you have to wonder whether he’s approaching his ceiling right now because his floor is so high.
I mean how much can he improve? Now Trae is nowhere near his ceiling in my mind and has a lot more room to grow. Can he surpass Luka eventually? That’s a possibility because I think he has more room to grow than Luka does.

Glen Taylor, Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez will no doubt consider all options when it comes to a permanent leader of the front office. Gupta surely is a candidate for that. https://t.co/Yp6PQMN071

I will also be making videos with Jamie and Tom and hopefully in the future fellow Lakerholics about a weekly summary of Lakers news and analysis/analytics that I’m gonna call 𝑪𝒖𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒅. Which Lakers cut the mustard during a home stretch or road trip. Who’s having a hot 🔥🔥🔥 outlier streak and who’s having a cold 🥶🥶🥶, what to look 👀 for with Vogel’s schemes/rotations…very concise, condensed info for our friends and enemies. 👍👍👍

Norm Macdonald, the comedian familiar to millions as the "Weekend Update" anchor on "Saturday Night Live” in the 1990s, has died at 61. He had a deadpan style honed on the stand-up circuit, first in his native Canada and then in the U.S. https://t.co/9WG7aaEf91 pic.twitter.com/69X7B5YmAC

Terrible alternative jersey. NBA is getting out of control in the effort to just sell stuff. Who would even think you were a Lakers fan wearing one of these. LMAO. Give me purple, gold, white, or black. The medium blue died when we left Minnesota.

This ☝️☝️☝️☝️ I agree Tom, Forum blue and Gold M.P.L.S. and the Mamba Jersey for special occasions. Other than that…Nah…👎👎👎👎👎

I agree, Tom. We need to keep our tradition and not be overly carried away by all these various colors. Too many uniform colors are not good. Please let’s keep our traditional colors. That will only make them legendary.

Charlotte Lakers? Hahaha, that is very funny. This one certainly has Charlotte blend all over it. Is Mitch Kupchak behind that design? Lol!
