US EditionAlexey Lumpuy Hits for the Cycle in Pelicans 7-3 Win
ORLEANS PARISH, LOUISIANA, JUL 11 – Herb Jones signed a 3-year, $68 million extension with the Pelicans, preventing a trade for six months and affecting Golden State Warriors' sign-and-trade plans.
- On Thursday, the New Orleans Pelicans and Herb Jones agreed to a three-year, $68 million extension, increasing his total deal to five years and $97 million, according to ESPN.
- The Pelicans extended Jones, locking down their top defender with a team-friendly $13.9 million salary next season and a six-month trade restriction, influenced by his defensive impact and injury history.
- Jones recorded 105 steals and 62 blocks, earning first-team All-Defensive honors; Pelicans ranked sixth in points allowed per 100 possessions.
- The Pelicans' three-year, $68 million extension blocks Jones from being traded for six months, complicating Warriors’ plans for Kuminga.
- More broadly, the extension gives the Pelicans lineup and financial flexibility, while base year compensation rules constrain Warriors general manager Mike Dunleavy’s ability to acquire an elite two-way player.
