Pelican supermarket opening soon? The Mavericks became Jones' number one favorite, the Lakers second, the Rockets fourth

On June 1, Beijing time, according to O'Connor, sources revealed that the Pelicans have no non-sale items, and the team is evaluating the trade value of every player on the roster. Defensive titan Herbert Jones is expected to attract interest from multiple teams, with the latest odds showing that the Mavericks are Jones' top favourite, with the Lakers in second place and the Rockets in fourth.

The Pelicans have just endured a disappointing and injury-ridden season with just 21 wins, which has led to a major overhaul in team management. Pistons legend Joe Dumas is now in charge of the basketball operations department. Jones played in just 20 regular-season games this season due to injury, averaging 10.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game while shooting 43.6 percent from the field and 30.6 percent from three-point range. Jones was named to the All-Defensive Team for the 2023-24 season and is universally recognized for his defensive prowess.

The latest odds show that the Mavericks (+350) are the top favourites for Jones, with the Lakers (+500) second, the Spurs (+550) third, the Rockets (+700) fourth and the Nuggets (+900) fifth.

Jones is a defensive wing that many teams will be interested in, and despite his poor attendance this season, he has played 78, 66 and 76 games in the first three seasons of his career.

In addition to continuing to strengthen the wings in the new season, the Mavericks also need to find a starting point guard to temporarily replace Irving, who is not expected to return until January next year due to injury. As for the Lakers and Rockets, if the two teams want to go far in the playoffs, they also need to improve their strength in various positions, and Jones' all-round defense can provide a lot of help.
