Every single Mavs fans would pick Luka, you will likely not find a single one prefering Trae. Some Hawks fans are still in denial phase and protect the trade, but there is also a clear increasingly growing fraction of them that are past the denial phase.

Luka is a different animal, build for the brutal physicality of the playoffs, and a lot more all around player, and making huge impact on both ends of the floor. Trae is more a one way offensive PG. While Luka is a true QB of the team, and making huge plays on defense, throughout the playoffs and regular season. I don't even understand that comparisons are made between the two, in beginning of their careers maybe yes, but not any longer.

Luka and Trae seem to have a genuine affection for one another and understand the absurdity of the comparisons they'll be tied to for their careers.   And Trae has had a fairly successful career thus far, arguably more successful than Luka if you want to go by the playoffs.  I think in the end, both teams are happy with the trade.  That's not to say that things wouldn't play out different in a do-over situation, but at that point Luka and Booker are probably teammates.  I just wish the Mavs fanbase would stop with the comparisons, dogging Trae, and proclaiming victory in the trade.  We got our guy,  they got theirs.
