De’Andre Hunter and Bruno Fernando are finally Hawks

The Hawks acquired the rights to both players during the NBA draft 17 days ago. The trades were made official at 1:30 a.m. Sunday, allowing the Hawks to announce the deals following the end of the NBA moratorium on Saturday and completion through the league office.

Hunter was the No. 4 overall pick in the draft, taken by the Pelicans on behalf of the Hawks after the major move up by sending picks No. 8 (Jaxson Hayes), No. 17 (Nickeil Alexander-Walker) and No. 35 (Marcos Louzada Silva) along with a conditional 2020 first-round draft pick to New Orleans.
