Sources: Hawks trade up for No. 4, eye Hunter

The Atlanta Hawks have acquired the No. 4 pick in Thursday's NBA draft from the New Orleans Pelicans for the No. 8, 17 and 35 picks, league sources told ESPN.

The Pelicans are sending Solomon Hill, the No. 57 pick and a future second-round pick to Atlanta in exchange.

Atlanta is also sending Cleveland a heavily protected first-round pick in 2020 to the Pelicans, sources said.

Atlanta is pursuing Virginia's De'Andre Hunter with the No. 4 pick, sources told ESPN.

The move marks the second year in a row that Atlanta general manager Travis Schlenk has made a big move in the lottery.
