Pelicans not interested in trading Herb Jones

The Pelicans continue to shut down ongoing interest in defensive stalwart Herb Jones, who’s out indefinitely with a torn labrum in his right shoulder. If there’s one trade candidate to monitor in New Orleans, it may be Javonte Green. The Pelicans are receiving healthy interest in the athletic forward, who makes just $2 million this season and is yet another player whose current salary is lower than the league’s current veteran minimum. -via marcstein.substack.com / January 18, 2025
