Herrmann

[Otaku]

Do you think Walter Herrmann would suit the Spurs? Why? Why not? I've just taken a look and I saw that he's on a one year contract. Could he play along with TD? I think he has what SA needs...

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

We haven't seen him for an entire season, so he is still a question mark. The only reason he has had playing time recently is because of the injuries to gerald wallace, emeka okafor, and sean may. Resigning Matt Bonner isn't a top priority this summer, and if Oberto opts out, it is possible although I do think the Spurs will go after another big in free agency, or sign Scola. I think they will use the draft to look at the backup PG situation and draft a SG to develop in europe and bring in when Finley and Barry are gone.

Well that's true, but it's also true that he has delivered really well... Just take a look at his numbers on his last 10 or so games.

[Bruno]

Herrmann will be restricted this summer : Charlotte will likely match cheap offers and I don't think Hermann is worth a lot of money because he isn't really good.

[ALVAREZ6]

He's been tearing it the fuck up the last 10 games or so.

[Otaku]

I don't think Hermann is worth a lot of money because he isn't really good

Well, his matches aren't proving that. Besides, he's in the Argentine National Team, and he's an Olympic champion. Any "bad" player wouldn't have achieved that.

[Bruno]

His matches aren't proving a lot.
Puting good stats with a bad team during one month isn't very meaningfull. You can find tons of average players who have had good stats when they were with a bad team.

Oberto, Pepe Sanchez...

[SuperManu!!!]

He is a great player, but i rather prefer he stays in charlotte so he can have a bigger role. In the spurs it will be another average player

[Bruno]

BTW, he isn't a free agent this summer.
Hermann has signed a two years contract. The second year is a team option and Bobcats will pick it for sure given Hermann's low salary.

[thekingrobert]

he can shoot and spread the floor one of the main things thats always needed when putting people to play with Duncan

[kolko]

He won Rookie of the Month!! Congrats Walter!

I thought we traded Herman to the Raptors.

[doldrums]

He has been playing great D and the Charlotte newspapers are talking about how happy the front office is with his play. I would doubt he will be playing anywhere else but Charlotte next year.

[ALVAREZ6]

As a starter, he averaged 19 points and 6 rebounds, and shooting 63%.

That's solid. I'd take him as a Bowen backup anyday.

[leemajors]

Resigning Matt Bonner isn't a top priority this summer
the staff and org both seem to like matt, i don't know why you would say that unless you listen to sequ.

[Big P]

NJ was looking to make a trade with the Bobcats before the deadline & they inquired about Hermann, the Bobcats told them that Hermann would not be included in any deals, they wanted to keep him. I doubt we see him in any other uniform besides a Bobcats uni.

[TDMVPDPOY]

i say fuck this scrub oberto v.2.o

fuck farming our rookies in europe, i prefer them to play in the nba or nbdl against fuckn pound for pound guys, not softcock fagots who love to shooot

Walter isn't as fast as Bruce ...

Way to go.

Almost 6000 useless posts

[ALVAREZ6]

Walter isn't as fast as Bruce ...Who said he was?

I wouldn't mind having Herrmann as a backup SF. We only have 1 true SF.

[Texas_Ranger]

He's good but I don't thik that that he would play that good as he plays for the cats.

[Nikos]

He would be a fine bench player to take a gamble on. He has athleticsm and size at the SF, and has potential to be a decent shooter and scorer. He seems slow footed on defense, but for 6-9, he could probably competently guard most tall SF's, and even some PF's.

[kolko]

Third straight 20+ point game tonight!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Glad I have him on my fantasy team right now, but he doesn't suit what we need from our post-Bruce SF - youth, athleticism, perimeter D and a 3 pt threat. Pass.

We need to get younger and quicker remember - Hermann doesn't suit those parameters.

[mountainballer]

i think Herrmann is this constantly underrated player, who constantly proves his critics wrong.
I don't want to claim he was an oustanding talent, but he can be a very helpfull back-up player far any team.

it's ridiculous to point out that he just plays, because other players are injured. since he got his spot in the rotation, the Bobcats have their best run of the season and are 7-5 while Herrmann averages almost 17 and 6 and it is his impact that has lifted the Bobcats game.

noone will claim that this 17 and 6 was the performance he could bring for a whole season. but he is for sure a much better player, that either the Bobcats thought he can be and better than all those who quickly labeled him a bust thought.

so, yes, he could also help the Spurs. he isn't what Spurs need in the first place, but he would be a nice asset at the bench, for 10-15 minutes.

He has been shooting the lights out from three point land. He was 4 of 5 yesterday. His % over the last 10 games has to be well over 50%. He was 8 of 11 from the field. He's been extremely efficient with the minutes he's been given. Bobcats will match, no question about it.

[Bruno]

Hermann isn't a free agent this summer.

[vanvannen]

Hermann isn't a free agent this summer.

I think you already said that. :rolleyes

[Bruno]

I think you already said that. :rolleyes

And people still continue to say that Bobcats will match... :rolleyes

[bdictjames]

He's like a taller version of Adam Morrison with the long hair, but with more quality shots. I dont know if he plays defense, that could be a problem.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I remember thinking his game was pretty decent during the Summer, in terms of shot selection and hustle.

[doldrums]

I listened to the Bobcats game on sirius, and one of the things the Bobcats announcers liked was his D.

[ArgSpursFan]

herrmann plays for the Arg nat team,and D is a must to be part of that team.
I hope you all didnt miss me that much.
BTW I mentioned Herrman on this forum before He started to get menutes for the Bobcats.
How come we didnt get him instead of Ely?????????

[doldrums]

yet another 20 pt game with 9 rebounds and 2 steals. Back to back win against the Wizards who are vying for division lead.

[itzsoweezee]

dude can play.

[Otaku]

Today:

20 points
9 rebs
7-13 FG
5-5 FT
2 stl
1 blk

[danyel]

Another solid perfomance by Walter tonight in another win against the Wizards 20 pts 9 rebounds.

He averages 18ppg in the last 10 games, amazing...

[doldrums]

If he played like this all season he would be rookie of the year, but Roy has it locked.

Because the Bobcats told all interested teams that Hermann was not on the trading block, meaning he was not available.

No question, he can play, but does he fit our needs? No.

Oh, and I know how good he's been - he's propping up my fantasy team after all the injuries I've suffered (Wade, Okafor, Wally, Miller, now Mo Williams... GAH!).

[mountainballer]

I'm very happy for Walter and hope this run will go on till seasons end.
after all what he has been through in his live, it is great to see him having some success.
for those who just don't care, there is still a reason to like every good game of him, because every such game also raises the value of Scola's rights a bit.

edit:
not to forget, that the Bobcats will be one of the most attractive trading partners for the Spurs this summer.
so a Bobcats team, that has fallen in love with the Argentinian school of basketball, might also be a team willing to give something for Scola.

be it either a trade up scenario for the Raptors pick they own, be it a (unrealistic) S&T trade scenario for Wallace, be it a trade scenario including Butler or Beno (if the need to repleace more of their bigs or Knight). whatever. there are some possibilities and the fact that they have tons of cap space helps to make many scenarios work, that wouldn't work with other teams.

[xamila rey]

after all that he went through in his life,
i am sooooo happy for him.

[mVp]

he's shooting the lights out... i like this guy, he's on fire lately

[The Great Fantastic]

This is definitely a guy to cheer for. Whether he's with the spurs or not. HERRMANN IS THE SHIZNIT! It's a great sight when he drives baseline with the ball and one hands it.
