About that Herrmann rumor …

by Matt Watson on May 29, 2009 6:20 AM EDT

There's been some chatter about Walter Herrmann possibly hopping across the pond to play for Pamesa Valencia, almost all of it stemming from a mention in a French article that most people are likely accessing via Google Translate. Near as I can tell, there's no real substance to the article aside from the president of Valencia expressing interest in signing Herrmann ... just like he did last summer when Herrmann re-signed with the Pistons for (presumably) less money than he could have earned overseas. Maybe he ends up leaving this time, maybe he doesn't -- but take this "rumor" with a grain of salt. (hat-tip: Quick Darshan, who passed along the link three days ago)

Yea Matt, that’s what I read into that article too. I do think that Hermann may end up playing somewhere other than Detroit next season, maybe even in Europe. But that article was just the Spanish team’s President voicing his interest in Hermann.

I think he should go play in his home country, actually.

Only because that’s what I’d do if I were him. I’d rather be famous, rich, and live at home than be a little-used role player in the NBA.

He’s from Argentina, though, isn’t he? So he probably wouldn’t be playing in his home country regardless.

I’m from argentina and All I can say is that the Basketball league here isn’t good like European at all..

I mean, European is way much better than here, and NBA is even better (In my personal opinion) than Euro-League

So.. I Hope he play in pistons 1 more year..

So.. I Hope he play in pistons 1 more year..I’m a Pistons fan since I know what basketball is and i think that maybe he could get a little bit more minutes this year..
