Picks were scattered all over the place during the 2019 draft night, meaning wrong caps for a large majority of the newly drafted players.

The Pelicans traded the No.4 pick to Atalanta in return for 8th, 17th and 35th picks. They also handed the 57th pick and Solomon Hill back to Atlanta, as well as future picks. The Phoenix Suns sent the No. 6 pick to the Timberwolves for the 11th pick and Dario Saric, while in a separate deal, they traded TJ Warren and the 32nd pick to the Indiana Pacers.

The Boston Celtics gave away their 20th pick to Philly in turn for selections at 24 and 33, but then turned around and traded the No. 24 pick to the Phoenix Suns. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies traded their 23rd pick(received from Utah in Conley trade) to OKC for No. 21 and a future pick. LA Clippers traded for center Mfiondu Kabengele, who was selected at No. 27 overall by Brooklyn.

Finally, Bol Bol's draft rights were acquired by the Nuggets in exchange for future second-round pick and cash considerations.
