This trade isn't anything big, but it's a really good trade for the Lakers, not because they got anything in return, but because they can now keep Laron Profit and Devin Green, both who would help the Lakers more than Jumain Jones...And at least we got a 2nd round pick, which is better than just cutting Jones for nothing in return. Remember, players like Van Exel, Ginobli, Ben Wallace, Trevor Ariza etc. were picked in the second round...I'm not saying the Lakers will get a chance to pick a player like that, but at least they cleared up a roster spot without any significant losses to the team... Current roster:

Smush Parker...Aaron McKie/Sasha Vujacic/Von Wafer
Kobe Bryant...Laron Profit/Devin Green/Tony Bobbit
Lamar Odom...Devean George/Luke Walton
Kwame Brown...Brian Cook/Slava Medvadenko/Corie Blount
Chris Mihm...Andrew Bynum/Adam Parada

Coach: Phil Jackson

True, but I liked jones. I thought he could've played his role pretty good with the lakers.

Horrible trade. Jumaine Jones was coming from the best season of his career, and all we have in return is a 2nd round pick? Plus Jones was the only member in the actual roster who can hit the 3 and defend hard at the same time. Really horrible trade.

LOL@horrible trade. Jones was obviously not gunna get much playing time under Phil. The Lakers had no use for him anymore, it's better than just cutting him. Lamar Odom and Devean George will obviously get the most minutes at the small forward spot, Luke Walton will be coming off the bench and also filling in a good amount of minutes at the 3...Then we have Laron Profit, Devin Green, and Sasha Vuvajic, all who are gunna be playing some minutes at the four. That leaves no room for Jumain Jones...I much rather see Devin Green developing and playing 5-15 mins a game at the SF position than Jumain Jones subsiding and playing 5-15 minutes a game at the SF position.
