According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium (via links on Twitter), the Heat are trading the No. 43 pick to the Hawks in exchange for the No. 44 pick and cash.

Due to monetary outlays, the Hawks will now choose guard Nikola Djurisic at No. 43, while the Heat will select guard Pelle Larsson of the Arizona Wildcats at No. 44. Notably, this means that Atlanta will now be hard-capped at the second tax apron.

Djurisic, 20, has participated in the Adriatic League with Mega for more than three seasons. Last season, he averaged 15.4 points and 3.5 assists. He might be a possibility for draft and stash. After spending a year at Utah, 23-year-old Larsson played three seasons with the Wildcats. In 133 career collegiate games, he has shot 39.7 percent from outside the 3-point line.

He averaged 12.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in his final season at Arizona. He shot 51.9 percent from the field and 42.6 percent from deep.
