I\u2019m curious\u2014now that the Pelicans have changed their front office\u2014who knows how they feel about anyone on their roster? Herb\u2019s mostly been a negative offensively in his career, but he\u2019s an elite on-ball defender. I think he fits the archetype Memphis has been going for\u2014when they had Dillon Brooks, tried to replace him with Marcus Smart, and then wanted Dorian Finney-Smith. I feel like that might be the higher end of the realistic outcomes\u2014if the Pelicans are open to doing something like that. I just think it\u2019s worth saying. The Pelicans\u2014who knows what\u2019s going to happen there now that they\u2019ve completely changed their front office. But that would be a really good and sneaky addition. He\u2019s not a huge, expensive, big-name guy, but in NBA circles, I think he\u2019s a pretty big name. He\u2019s someone that would be a really good fit. I think he\u2019d really complete that starting five\u2014that closing five. -via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iY2FkopXnww&amp;t=1s\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> YouTube<\/a> \/ May 13, 2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One guy, as I look through teams, that I feel could be an ideal target for the Grizzlies&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":126195,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3796],"tags":[224,7,98,1363,6,478,470,4073,4072,675],"class_list":{"0":"post-126194","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-orleans-pelicans","8":"tag-ace-bailey","9":"tag-basketball","10":"tag-draft","11":"tag-main-rumors","12":"tag-nba","13":"tag-new-orleans","14":"tag-new-orleans-pelicans","15":"tag-neworleans","16":"tag-neworleanspelicans","17":"tag-pelicans"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/114749642219673479","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126194"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126194\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
