Lakers Eye Pelicans' Jones for Defensive Boost
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
Rival NBA teams anticipate the Los Angeles Lakers targeting New Orleans Pelicans Herb Jones to bolster their defense before the trade deadline. Jones, known for his defensive skills, is often linked to the Lakers by rival scouts and executives. However, the Pelicans are not interested in trading him, given the Lakers limited trade assets. Jones, a key defensive player, signed a three-year, $68 million extension in July and wont be eligible for trade until January. The Lakers, seeking defensive improvements, face challenges in acquiring Jones due to the Pelicans reluctance and their limited draft capital.
