Lakers considering trade for all-defensive wing Herbert Jones

The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly exploring a trade for Herbert Jones from the New Orleans Pelicans. This potential move comes after the Lakers missed out on Klay Thompson and Jonathan Kuminga during free agency. To acquire Jones, the Lakers may offer several draft assets, including a 2032 first-round pick swap. The addition of Jones would aim to address the Lakers' defensive weaknesses, particularly around perimeter defense. The Pelicans could part with Jones to focus on their young core, which includes Bennedict Mathurin and Zion Williamson.
