One trade that will probably be talked about for the next 100 million years is the Pelicans and Hawks draft night deal, which ended up sending Derik Queen to New Orleans. If you need a reminder of what this deal included, the Pelicans sent an unprotected 2026 first-round pick swap-best of either the Pelicans or the Bucks, and pick No. 23 (Asa Newell) to the Hawks for pick No. 13 (Derik Queen).
Now, the part of this deal that many people harp on is the 2026 first-round pick. Many think this could be a lottery pick as the Pelicans were a lottery team last season, and the Bucks lost Damian Lillard and are projected to be mediocre at best next season.
