Remember when the New Orleans Pelicans sent the Hawks a 2026 unprotected first-round pick to trade up in the 2025 draft for Derik Queen? Of course you do. No one could believe it happened, not even the Hawks, who still drafted the player they wanted at No. 23. Speaking of Atlanta and that unprotected pick, it could help the Hawks land none other than Giannis Antetokounmpo.
On Wednesday, ESPN NBA insider Shams Charania reported that Giannis and his agent are "having conversations" with Milwaukee about the superstar's future. Those discussions involve determining whether Giannis should stay with the Bucks or if he'd be better off elsewhere.
