This trade also contains a plethora of draft picks. For instance, the Pelicans are giving up their first-round pick in 2022, as well as their 10th and 40th overall picks in 2021. From there, the Grizzlies are also giving up their 17th and 51st overall picks. Needless to say, it appears as though both teams are looking to stock up on picks and plan for their respective futures.
