A post-deadline analysis of the NBA Draft pick owed from Dallas to Atlanta

The Atlanta Hawks entered the season with the possibility of having six draft picks in the 2019 NBA draft. At this point, it looks like the most likely outcome will be the team having five draft picks, assuming no other transactions take place that impact the draft after the end of this season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers owe the Hawks a first round draft pick as a result of the Kyle Korver trade, but the pick will be retained by Cleveland if it falls within the top ten selections. To put it plainly, it would now take a miracle from this point in time for that to not happen.
