Sometimes, two people’s fates just feel connected. You’ve heard the stories before. Two twins are separated at birth. Through a series of unexpected events, they find each other anyway. Whatever you believe, it feels like fate. Sometimes, two NBA players are in a similar situation. It feels like they’re connected, for one reason or another.
For example, take Luka Doncic and Trae Young. The two star playmakers were effectively traded for each other on draft night. Now, they invite comparisons whether fairly or not.
Right now, things do not appear to be going well for Young and the Hawks. There has been some friction between the two sides. Are they long for each other?
There is a complication in constructing trade ideas for Young, considering he’s a small guard who needs to be covered up defensively. Most teams have a talented point guard, too. Could this help a team like the Mavericks to make a move?
Doncic has the necessary size to guard wings, making it easier for him to play next to Young — more so than other NBA guards. Teams would have nightmares having to account for both players, but they’d also need to adjust playing off-ball.
Could the two join forces on the Dallas Mavericks this season?
