Fan favorite forward Nikola Mirotic is no longer a member of the New Orleans Pelicans, as the team has just traded him to the Milwaukee Bucks just a couple of hours before the NBA trade deadline. The trade sends power forward Jason Smith and 22 year old small forward Stanley Johnson back to the Pelicans.
Bucks will send Jason Smith and Stanley Johnson to Pelicans for Mirotic, per source. https://t.co/D28YlR6zQ5

Jason Smith has hardly played any minutes at all for the Bucks this season and likely is only included in this trade to get the money to match up.
