I want to find the alternate universe where the Mavs don't make the trade for Luka and see how that draft plays out. Does ATL draft him? Do they STILL draft Trae? If so, Does MEM draft luka or does he still fall to us? I need the Alt universe police to answer this.IIRC RC said in our first Chicago game last season that they liked WCJ and were gonna draft him if it wasn't for the trade.Would have been a mistake if we picked him over Trae, but right call over Bamba
I think WCJ will be a very good starting big for the next decade or so.
Regarding OP, I think people are ignoring the butterfly effect that would have happened. May be we develop WCJ better, trade for KP (Mavs tried to get him before Luka, it was rumored we tried to trade for him for 2 years before the trade happened) and get Morant and be all excited about what we have right now. Plenty of variables could have happened.
