I guess you can argue it however you please, but I'm happy having Luka. I'm not sure if Trae would have flourished under Carlisle.
The differences between ATL and DAL is that the Mavs got Luka for a pick swap + 1FRP. ATL got Trae for the pick swap and added a FRP the next season, so Luka cost 2FRP while Trae cost 0.5 FRP.
In addition DAL gave up DSJ (a FRP) + 2FRP for KP (a FRP), THJ (a FRP), Courtney Lee (a FRP) and Burke (a FRP).
Giving up 3 of 5 future FRPs doesn't leave much opportunity for team building via draft, especially when you pick as poorly as last year. So we're back to FAs and trades and hoping the new leadership is better at talent evaluation than the old one.
