If there's one thing that's more exciting than the picks on NBA Draft night, it's the trades. As always, there were a number of deals, but interestingly none of them involved current players. Still, there were trades that will have a big impact on the league, including the swap between the Hawks and the Mavericks. The Hawks sent the No. 3 overall pick (Luka Doncic) to the Mavericks for the No. 5 pick (Trae Young) and a future first-round pick.
