Luka Doncic spent his first day as a member of the Dallas Mavericks.
The Mavs traded their 5th pick and a lightly protected future first-rounder to get Hawks’ no.3 pick and select the Slovenian prospect.

Per ESPN, Coach Rick Carlisle called the trade to get Doncic, which cost the Mavs the No. 5 overall pick and a lightly protected future first-rounder, "a defining moment in this rebuild" after Dallas went 24-58 last season.
"We're going to propel forward with the idea that we've got to start winning games," Carlisle said, but he also preached the need to be patient with Doncic because of his age.

"I like challenges," Doncic said. "When they say you're going to be good, I like to be challenged. When they say you're not going to be good, I say, let's see. When I step on the court, I need to show. No matter what pick you are, you need to show it on the court."
