Los Angeles Lakers Receive:
-Herb Jones
New Orleans Pelicans Receive:
-Jarred Vanderbilt
-Jalen Hood-Schifino
-2029 First-Round Pick (LAL)
-2025 Second-Round Pick (LAC)
If Jones were available and the Lakers could get him for that package, I’d obviously say yes.
We have two first and two seconds. They should get us two elite defensive players.
Herb Jones would be a terrific start. Now get a center with the other first and second.
The Pels would probably do this deal but it would not do much for us. Jones tore his labrum in his shoulder and is out indefinitely. He may miss the rest of the season.
