Report: Atlanta Hawks trade up for #4 NBA Draft pick from New Orleans

The team has been busy on draft day.

The Atlanta Hawks have reportedly made some moves in advance of Thursday night's NBA Draft.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Hawks acquired the #4 pick from the New Orleans Pelicans. In exchange, Atlanta sent their #8, 17 and 35 picks to New Orleans.

The Hawks also got Solomon Hill, a #57 pick and a future second-round pick from the Pelicans, Wojnarowski reports.

Atlanta is also sending a Cleveland heavily protected first-round pick in 2020 to the Pelicans, league sources tell ESPN," Wojnarowski said.

The report states that the Hawks are going after Virginia's De'Andre Hunter with the #4 pick. 

The Hawks had not officially confirmed the trades as of 6:30 p.m. but did playfully respond to Wojnarowski's Twitter account.

Earlier on Thursday, Hawks sent their #41 selection to the Golden State Warriors in exchange for cash and a 2024 second-round pick. 

The moves would leave the Hawks with the #4, #10 and #35 picks. (They reportedly sent their #44 pick to the Miami Heat). 

New Orleans is expected to choose Duke's Zion Williamson with their #1 choice.
