New Orleans is also a good team still fighting for a playoff spot. They are not like Memphis with the Gasol trade or Seattle/Minnesota in the Boston trades where the main issue was salary dumps to rebuild the team.
Making that trade would end up hurting the Hornets contender chances for a few years while Lakers keep locking away the West for a few more years (historically they own about 1/2 the West appearances in NBA Finals).
