Had Miami not made this deal, it would have only had one selection in the 2019 draft.
But, now it has the No. 13 and No. 44 picks.
After today’s acquisition Miami now owns the 13th and 44th picks in tomorrow’s #NBADraft.

Atlanta holds the No. 8, 10 and 17 picks in the first round alone. It is reportedly trying to package its first two picks in order to move up to No. 4.
Jarrett Culver could be the target, though several teams are also looking to move up into that spot for Vanderbilt guard Darius Garland.
The NBA Draft kicks off at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
