Herbert Jones

Meiji Donnie Freeman talked about the Lakers' reinforcement issue on the podcast "Basketball Bulletin Podcast".

"As for whether Trey Murphy and Herbert Jones will be traded to the Lakers, my opinion is that it is unlikely. Although the Pelicans are currently underperforming, both players are important assets to the team. However, considering the current situation of the Pelicans, if they continue to perform poorly, some adjustments may be considered. Especially Herbert Jones, whose defensive ability is very good, for the Lakers But even so, they will not give up these core players easily. Generally speaking, the Pelicans need to make some changes, but they do not need to trade Trey Murphy or Herbert Jones. They can consider other ways to improve the overall strength of the team. Freeman said.

So far this season, Herbert Jones has averaged 10.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game. This summer, Herbert Jones renewed his contract with the team in advance. He has 5 years left in his contract with the Pelicans and a total salary of US$97 million.

So far this season, Trey Murphy has averaged 18.1 points, 7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game. His contract has four years and US$112 million left.
