Hawks do this trade to move toward a younger core. They take on CJ’s expiring contract to make the money match and get the 7th pick in the draft. They likely draft Khaman Maluach.

Pelicans do this trade to move towards contending. Add center depth and get an established point guard who would have great chemistry with Zion.

Hawks lineup after trade:

1. Dyson, TM3, Risacher, Johnson, Maluach

2. McCollum, LeVert, Mann, Nance Jr, Capela

Pelicans lineup after trade:

1. Young, Murray, Herb, Zion, Okongwu

2. Alvarado, Boston, Hawkins, Olynyk, Missi
