The Los Angeles Lakers are waiving two-way forward AK Okereke, league sources told @hoopshype.
Just spoke to a Pelicans official who tells @TheSteinLine that the team has not indicated a willingness to trade Herb Jones. Jones played sparingly in the Pels' first three games. They have maintained a high threshold on trade interest in Trey Murphy III and Jones for months.
Latest Pelicans intel, via @FearTheBrown: - People around the league believe the Pels and Dejounte Murray want to work together to "find [Murray] a better situation." - Jordan Poole told the team that he "would be open to opportunities elsewhere." - Joe Dumars is "extremely high" on Jeremiah Fears. - Teams are continuing to monitor Herb Jones; Pelicans still asking for around 2 first-round picks. - Warriors recently inquired about Yves Missi.
