Everybody strap in; it’s NBA Draft night, and things are still getting crazy for the New Orleans Pelicans. Zion Williamson is coming to town soon, and there was a chance the #4 pick would be joining him as well with that draft pick being sent over from the Los Angeles Lakers in the Anthony Davis trade.
Instead, the Pelicans just traded back and shed some big salary. Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN shared the details first.
Atlanta has acquired New Orleans No. 4 pick in the draft for No. 8 and 17 and 35, league sources tell ESPN.
