Walter Hermann


There is literally nothing going on with the Nuggets right now. Novak is gone. I am being driven to think crazy thoughts about how to avoid signing Wally World to fill the vacant scoring swingman role. I don't think Wally would be a great addition. I won't lose any sleep if we do sign Wally, I just think he's a stiff and there are many other more interesting guys with a lot more upside who deserve a shot.

What's going on with Walter? He can shoot the 3, and it will give us another white guy and some long hair on the team. I guess it's probably unlikely we'll suddenly get proactive so late in free agency, so let's discuss who shoul dget the final roster spot

Wally, Kurz, Brumbaugh/Karl/D-leaguer, or someone else?

kruz, ect., ect., ect.

read where kruz is going to sign with cleveland. all because novak has signed with lac does not mean denver cannot get him. now that his contract is settled he can be traded. when wally says the nugs and other teams want him i read it this way- supply and demand. if more than 1 team wants him he would want more than the minimum and muti years. he was trying to use denver as leverage and might have talked his way out of a roster spot. aaron gray could still be had after he signs. bulls have 12 players now with ag makes 13. 4 out of the 13 are centers- gray, noah, brad miller and jerome james. chicago has several problems- no low post scoring and they let their leading scorer the past 4 years and best outside shooter ben gordon go to rival detroit and got nothing in return. bulls are a major player in the 2010 free agent derby too. look for lk’s rights and denver’s multiple trade exceptions come into play.

Walter Herrmann has returned to Spain. He signed a two year deal with Caja Laboral.

Herrmann would have been a good low cost replacement for Kleiza … ah well

Good call

I found this out too after I posted it, I hope he owns LK if they ever play olympiacos.

Brumbaugh

I think Brumbaugh might be a good bench warmer, though he was supposed to be much better than he has thus far turned out to be so maybe he’s a diamond in the rough or he just sux… either way he likely will be cheaper than Wally World.

His nickname alone makes him worthless

I would boo ol’ wally world if ever he suited up as a Stiff. (That’s right I refuse to capitalize his name) Maybe six years ago but not now. As far as K Brumbaugh goes I have now idea. I can’t say as I’ve ever seen him play. He has to be better on D than wally world though. wally’s D is something like the Broncos D last season…Ole`

Can we get a post about the worst Denver nicknames ever? In any sport.

Keith

His problem was that he had off court issues, ended up in junior college and didn’t really get to prove his talent against good competition. The Nugs have had some success bringing in players with a streak of poor decision making in their lives. I agree that he fits the role of an end of the bench guy pretty well. If he would have made it to a better college he might have had first round talent.

Wally hasn’t been good for 2 years, his playoff stats in those years are a little discouraging. Like I said I wouldn’t be super mad if he signed for the minimu, I just think there’s more risk than reward to that move. Coby Karl and Brumbaugh would round out the roster well enough, provide some insurance at the SG and SF spot where the Nugs are very thin right now.

If Kroenke is willing to shell out the money, I'd like to see Flip + either Brumbaugh or Kurz

Novak+Pops would’ve been best, but both have already been taken.

The STIFF LIST (as of 7/26 by Nate)

STIFF #1: COLORADO ROCKIES
The Rox have lost eight of their last 10, including six in a row. During the six-game losing streak Colorado has been outscored 33-13 ... and they might soon be the reason by buddy Rory has a massive heart-attack. But there are still 63 games to go and an upcoming eight-game homestand is hopefully just what the team, and Rory, needs to turn things around.

STIFF #2: MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES/DAVID KAHN
Replacing a 24 year-old point guard with a 29 year-old point guard is just a sound NBA move ... uh? Kahn handed Ramon Sessions a 4-year $16 million contract last offseason and just gave the same deal to Luke Ridnour this offseason. In order to make room for Ridnour, Kahn shipped Sessions and young big man Ryan Hollins off to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Delonte West (who is still facing weapons-possession charges). Maybe Ricky Rubio will get to the T-Wolves before Ridnour's contract expires, but don't count on it.

STIFF #3: TRACY MCGRADY
McGrady has been shopping his services this offseason and after getting nibbles from the Lakers, Clippers, and most recently the Bulls ... T-Mac is still without an employer. The 31 year-old guard, with a rich injury history, apparently is not ready to accept a reduced role. Will McGrady's stubborness land him on a lottery team where he'll try to prove he can still be "the man" or will he accept being a role player and wind up in Chicago gunning for that elusive title?

STIFF #4: DANNY AINGE
The Celtics did lose defensive ace Tony Allen to the Memphis Grizzlies, but re-signing Marquis Daniels to a one-year $2.5 million deal is a little crazy. Daniels should be thanking agent Mark Bartelstein ... maybe the rapper can sing his agent a song. (Daniels is in the yellow shirt in the video)   
  

STIFF #5: NUGGETS SLEEPING ON SIZE
The Nuggets decided to bring back Anthony Carter on a one-year $1.3 million deal. Do the Nuggets really need a third point guard heading into training camp over another big body? Check out some names still on the free-agent market: Louis Amundson (yes he'll require more money), Fabricio Oberto, Kwame Brown, Anthony Tolliver, DJ Mbenga, Nathan Jawai, Josh Boone, Kyrylo Fesenko, and Joey Graham. Denver still has the bi-annual exception to spend ... so maybe there is still hope of grabbing somebody.
