Washington is tied at the 4th worst record in the league. Trae and AD aren’t going to play this year. Getting the #1 overall pick seems appropriate.

Not even close, what a dumb comment.

For Luka, you got AD coming off an All-NBA 2nd team / All-D first team season with playoff averages of ²⁸⁄₁₆, and two straight years of good health + a starting calibre young role player with upside + a future first.

For AD, you got 5 second round picks (two disguised as a first) and some dudes with all-league garbage advanced stats. AD to Washington was a salary dump, Dallas didn’t get assets.
