What would it take?

A fair package each interested team would have to send for Jonquel Jones — assembled and priced by the same engine that grades trades, most valuable pieces first until the outgoing value matches hers. The percentage is what that package is worth on the trade-value scale: 100% is an even match for Jonquel Jones, above 100% a slight overpay to get there. Open one in the machine to tweak it.
