Not sure I EVER expected to say this but: Herb is now 16th in NBA in 3-pt % at 42.3%

Probably my favorite player in franchise history.

And BI is gonna get 37M more than him next year. Let that the frick sink in.

When this happens, I’m done with the team.

Hard work and focus

Best non-rookie contract in the association.

Man the fact that Herbs agent was ok with him signing that midseason deal is crazy. Great work by pels but if Im Herb I would have a serious talk with my agent.

---

The Pels literally offered Herb the biggest contract they legally could

And it set Herb up for life after making like 1.5 million a year his first couple years in the league

It’s clearly an enormous value contract but I don’t think the agent really did anything wrong. A CBA quirk hurt Herb’s wallet more than anything

And the contract only runs through his age 28 season so if he's healthy he'll still get at least two more cracks.

mine too. He is the heart and soul of the team. What a steal in the second round. I think he gets better and better

If, by "headache"...you mean Uncle Dennis...I gotta agree.

Dinky, we do have to call you out for the Dyson ceiling higher than Herb ceiling angle you took most of the season.

With Herb, the ceiling is the roof.

Can't imagine me saying that...but I say a bunch of stuff...so I'll take your word for it. I'll admit, I am MUCH higher than most here when it comes to Dyson maybe because I think he is SO needed on the defensive end...given our current roster.

On Herb, I think I've always said I have NO idea what his ceiling is (this is a compliment)...since his offensive progress has been SO stunted...and he still has another season or two...before I would feel comfortable forming a decent opinion on his future ceiling. I said the other day that I think we should begin to see his potential "ceiling" around the end of next season. He still has so much room to improve & is doing so at an amazing clip.

A quick edit here: Just to show what I think of Herb...I think he is now, the "best" player on the Pelicans. Just to clarify...I think the "best" means...the player that is MOST important...to your chances of winning a basketball game.

Let's all be very honest, if the agent was making a decision thinking Herb may be the 12th best NBA 3pt shooter this season, then that agent is a dummy

There's not a one of us who thought that would happen and Herb would be unleashed at a level like THIS, so you can't blame the agent either.

Sometimes getting that guaranteed money is more important in the moment too, process vs results. Had Herb suffered a season ending injury in the preseason, I'm sure we would be talking about how awesome that agent is.
