anyone know if he has a opt out clause in his contract after the 1st year. I would still like him as a stretch 3/4. He has always seemed to have a reliable 3 point shot. With Bonner being a free agent, maybe the Spurs will go another direction.
He already signed. Manu cannot do anything about it.

You're insane...the guy is a turn style on D. No way he keeps up with 3s let alone 4s
Why not Super Manu acting as teacher to Hermann right?
It could work, why not?
pass.
Are we NOW desperate? Why are we entertaining this guy? We do want to win a championship right? Or rebuild to get a first round pick in the next 3 years? SMH
wow, why this thread is even open ?
He's not that bad at all, when given the chance played pretty good on CHarlotte
Yeah, in his first season. He was also named MVP after his first season in the ACB and then never came close of having a similar season. I always thought he should play in a new league every season.
Nothing more than a 15th man for a NBA team.
Well, I don't know why he was shipped out from Charllotte but towards the end of that 07 season he was having a great roll and gave CH a good run. Afterwards they hired a new coach and decided not to play him (as I recall). Shipped to Detroit where he wasn't given any chance and then left the NBA i think the guy (if cheap) can be valuable.
Only a rumour but I heard that Herrmann doesn't get along too well with most of the Argie NT, including Manu.
There's a reason he mouldered on the bench in Detroit. Sometimes cheap really is just cheap.
Detroit is known for closing doors to foreigners. Dunno, I'd try him, he's argentine. Might work
why bring his waste of space in
damn we should have got Delfino when we could. Delfino > RJ
That's my point. Delfino was in the same situation as Herrmann. He was in Det with Larry Brown, no playing time at all for no reason. Now turned to be a good player in MIL when he was given the chance...
Therefore Hermann is good? I don't think it works that way. People slept on Delfino because he basically fell off the side of the Earth (and into Russian league ) after Detroit and was reasonably assumed a dead soldier. Herman has been playing very visibly in Spain. He's not a question mark.
I dunno... maybe you could begin by explaining why you're so high on him? Honest question.
How does he address our needs?
Why would his play be elevated here over what he does for Caja?
Good shooter, good passer, skilled not as Delfino, but very skilled and good size for the 3 position. Not a bad defender and could come for not much money. A smart player that can take very different roles. Always ready to come in and help.
My point is that he has been overlooked. He made great impact in Charlotte, just ask any of his fans.
Herrmann hasn't been able to make much of an impact on Cajala (at least a positive impact!) and you'd expect him to make one for a NBA team?
Delfino is an above average defender. Herrmann doesn't have the quickness to defend 3s anymore, not even in Europe and isn't big enough to guard lots of 4s.
Delfino is a terrific rebounder for his position. Herrmann is a mediocre rebounder as a 4.
Delfino has very good ball-handling, he's an excellent passer and can create shots here and there. Hermann can dribble himself into a better mid-range jump-shot, but other than that...
More importantly, why do you believe he's going to shoot like he did in his first season in Charlotte? He was never able to shoot above 35% from 3 in any other NBA season and he's shooting 32% in the ACB.
I don't want to be seen as a Herrmann homer which Im not, just saying that we could try him but It's hard to make an impact when you're just played 3 minutes every 5 games. Much less have good %.
All those comparisons you posted about Delfino are right. Herrmann is not a skilled type of forward, he's more rusty than any other player but has had impact when given the chance. Even in Detroit in some games when Hamilton or Prince were injured in the Reg season he made some pretty good plays to help.
And that's all Im gonna say about this I think I made my point.
Tall athletic SF with good three point shooting, yeah we don't need that. I don't know how he's playing now but in his prime Herrmann would have been a good pickup.
To be fair, Delfino didn't make much either in Russia.
That was, what? 6 years ago?
What have you done for me lately, Herrmann?
Herrmann is being paid though.
Very different situations, but c'mon, if they didn't win the Eurocup final it wasn't because Delfino didn't produce. He did his part, his teammaates chocked. In the Russian league they just faced a superior team and were unable to pull the upset - but I wouldn't blame Delfino for that either.
Well i donīt think Hermann is any bad but i donīt see a point in bringing him here.
He is not a young guy who would understand being subbed in favor of Jefferson so he can have 30 mins a game and not disrupt the teamīs chemistry.
I do think Hermann is a good player to have, if we needed more from the 3 spot, but we donīt, Delfino would be what we need now, but... Spurs doesnīt like to pay what the players are worth unless they are in a really really bad position.
What Hermann has to offer, a very good cutter, plays very well off the ball and is a willing defender, needs a quite big ammount of shots, usually the most he gets the better his FG%.
About this year i must say that he had a serious injury that was only healed by the second part of the season, he had surgery last offseason but the injury took longer to heal.
