2019 NBA Trade Deadline: Pelicans trade Nikola Mirotic to Milwaukee Bucks for Stanley Johnson, Jason Smith and four second round picks

Farewell to the ‘Shaven One’.

The New Orleans Pelicans have reportedly traded Nikola Mirotic to the Milwaukee Bucks in a three-team trade with the Detroit Pistons, further bolstering their frontcourt depth behind Giannis Antetokounmpo, Brook Lopez and Ersan Ilyasova. This might have been in response to yesterday’s deal between the 76ers and Clippers whereby Philly bolstered their lineup with Tobias Harris.

As first reported by Adrian Wojnarowski, the Pelicans are receiving Stanley Johnson, who was recently acquired in a deal from the Detroit Pistons.
