Herbert Jones is the best possible player who could be available that would immediately patch up a ton of issues for the Los Angeles Lakers on the defensive end. The New Orleans Pelicans wing is also going to be out of Rob Pelinka's reach, according to Dan Woike of The Athletic.
Woike discussed that rival scouts and executives are linking Jones as a target for the Lakers front office once he is available for trade on Jan. 14. However, the beat writer then proceeded to crush the dreams of all those in Los Angeles who 'fanaticize about some all-out liquidation' for the Pelicans.
