After shopping the No. 4 pick, acquired from the Los Angeles Lakers in a reported trade agreement for Anthony Davis that cannot be completed until July 6 at the earliest, the New Orleans Pelicans found a taker shortly before Thursday’s NBA draft.
The Atlanta Hawks moved up from No. 8 to No. 4 while hanging on to their other lottery pick (Cam Reddish, 10th overall), instead giving the Pelicans a pair of later picks and taking back the contract of forward Solomon Hill in exchange for going up four spots.
The deal
Hawks get: 2019 No. 4 pick (De’Andre Hunter), 2019 No. 57 pick, Solomon Hill, future second-rounder
Pelicans get: 2019 No. 8 pick (Jaxson Hayes), 2019 No. 17 pick, 2019 No. 35 pick, 2020 first-round pick (via CLE)
