Luka Doncic and Trae Young seem destined for continual comparison.

That’s the nature of draft-night trades, right? Those types of transactions take place under a huge spotlight. Armchair general managers love the what-ifs created, and in some cases, the regrets realized in retrospection.

Think the Milwaukee Bucks trading Dirk Nowitzki for Robert Traylor in 1998.

Hindsight is 20/20.

Speaking of 2020, we’re currently witnessing the second campaigns in what are sure to be long, illustrious careers for Doncic and Young. Both are surefire all-stars with comparable numbers playing in separate conferences.

Both are top-five in the league in points per game and assists per game. Doncic has a considerable edge in rebounding over Young, but both players pass the eye-test.

So, who’s winning the trade? Dallas or Atlanta?

Nobody yet -- though the Mavericks certainly seem to be doing better with Doncic than the Hawks are with Young.

Dallas is sitting pretty for a playoff spot at the moment. Atlanta has the worst record in the Eastern Conference.

The optics of that record, plus the lack of veteran talent playing around him, isn’t helping Young’s case in the debate over who won the trade.

Young realizes that, and recently told Bleacher Report’s Michael Scotto that the Hawks aren’t prepared to “win now” like the Mavericks.

“[Doncic’s] on a team, and they’ve got more veterans and is a team that’s more looking to win now. We’re more of a team that wants to win now, but we’re focusing more on developing, and we’re one of the youngest teams in the league. It’s just two totally different situations, so it’s just hard to really judge who won or lost [the trade] right now. I don’t really pay too much attention to it. I just try and focus on my team and how I can help my team. Maybe down the road at the end of our careers, I think that can be a topic of discussion, but right now, I don’t pay too much attention to it.”

Young makes a compelling argument.

Doncic has benefited from additions like Kristaps Porzingis, Tim Hardaway Jr. and increased bench production this season.

Atlanta is looking to get Young some help, and is reportedly interested in Andre Drummond, among others.
