New wrinkle in Jordan Hill trade talks: Word is Lakers are seeking second-round pick as part of deal on top of dumping Hill’s salary.

As @RamonaShelburne reported last night, Nets & Pelicans are at head of the line for Jordan Hill. Hawks, to date, expressing lesser interest.

All three teams (Nets, Pelicans and #eventhehawks) possess Disabled Player Exception to take Jordan Hill without sending Lakers player back.

Lakers must be confident they can move Jordan Hill to ask for a second-rounder. Cause it’s usually team going under tax that gives up the pick.
