Atlanta Hawks Receive: F Brandon Ingram, C Willy Hernangomez
New Orleans Pelicans Receive: F De’Andre Hunter, G Bogdan Bogdanovic, F Cam Reddish, 2022 First-Round Pick
This hypothetical deal between the Atlanta Hawks and New Orleans Pelicans would be a blockbuster deal. It would reshape the future of these franchises for the foreseeable future.
The Hawks would be receiving Brandon Ingram as the headliner in this deal. Atlanta would now have three legitimate building blocks with Ingram joining Trae Young and John Collins all 24-years of age or younger.
Willy Hernangomez has shown that he can be productive when given minutes. He would shore up the Hawks’ frontcourt, giving them another option while Onyeka Okongwu rehabs his shoulder injury.
The Pelicans would be receiving a solid package in return for their All-Star. De’Andre Hunter and Cam Reddish are both top-10 picks from the 2019 NBA Draft that would give New Orleans some upside.
