I thought he cleared waivers but I'm not at all certain and too lazy to look. :lol

That would make sense. Didn't know he shat the bed that badly.

But when Roddy sh*ts the bed, Mav fan still calls for minutes :lol and gets furious at RC for not playing him. But if CB sh*ts the bed, it's so obvious why he doesn't play.

Hell yeah, dude was a beast! Easily one of the greatest rappers of all time.

Could just be a strategy they used to catch the Spurs offguard in the playoffs. I wouldn't be surprised to see LA not let us see their hand in the last meeting with against them.

I'm of the opinion the Mavs mainly got Brewer so the Spurs wouldn't, but if you watched any Spurs-T-Wolves games over the past few years, you'd know that Brewer is Manu's bitch. The guy is a seriously overrated defender with a terrible basketball IQ who plays worse as games go on. It seems like every time we play those guys we're down 10 going into the fourth quarter, and Brewer is always prominently involved in Spurs comebacks with his horrible jumper, turnovers, fouls on Manu and-1s, what have you.

It's not like Brewer is some "hidden gem" who just happened to be on a bad team. He was actively one of the main reasons they were awful. He's just a choker and a poor player with a very limited skill set. To compare his defense to Bowen's is an insult to Bruce, plus Bowen at least had to keep defenses honest with his corner threes, which Brewer cannot hit. Brewer is a fucking loser.

I'm hopeful that the Spurs knew this all along and that it was a case of CIA-Pop pretending they wanted him in the hopes that someone like Dallas would waste their money on him. I never wanted the guy, that's for sure, and I DESPISE RJ.

No doubt Brewer is a very poor offensive player - that was never in dispute - but I have seen him completely shut opposing wings down. Anyway, you make a good point that he doesn't do a great job on Manu - now that I think about it, Manu has repeatedly owned him, although that might also partly be a function of the extremely poor team defense in Minne.

I think it's a pretty fair statement to say that Roddy is and will be a better player than Cory Brewer.

:lol I said this in the Corey Brewer thread..I still don't understand why he was so hyped..he's an average player, at best..

brewer sucks... i'm surprised no one knew that.

True,some just get desperate I guess. One idiot said the long awaited tall SF eludes us again :rollin:rollin Like he was what the Spurs were looking for in a SF and their saviour they wanted for a while at that position. Some took it way too far, if he was that good NY keeps him, period.

Lol, Brewer's on the two year plan. RJ struggled mightily his first year with the Spurs. Now somehow after a couple of games and sporadic playing time and still trying to find his way within the Mavs system, he's no good? Nobody said he was a perennial all-star, but next year, he is going to make a solid impact on the defensive end. IMO, he was a solid pickup. TBH, During the playoff stretch, he isn't going to see major minutes until he atleast has some practices under his belt.

Yes, but he has never been near the caliber player RJ has been in the NBA by any means! Not even on a shitty team he was not! He is not nearly as talented, but better on D yes and thats about it.

Yes, but he's capable of putting up RJ's offensive output as a Spur and then some. But, the Mavs got him for his defense and they can still mold him into a better offensive player. He only just turned 25, TBH.

I know that bruh, but does he have the abilities RJ had at that age or even around 29 or so? He just does not show the skills RJ had as a player IMO! I know that was a good pickup and will pay off for them (I HOPE THEY DIE TOO LOL), but is he seriously gonna get better on O? If is what happens to Butler? What happens to Marion? I am just wondering still why they wanted him? Oh wait we did so they had to have him lol. I hope they fail miserably and always will hope that, f that team and him lol. If he is there fail lol.

At age 29, he had his worst offensive output of his career TBH. Brewer actually put up better numbers last year. He's struggled for the better part of the year on offense, but he's capable of a lot more. IMO, I think he will eventually replace Butler. Butler's contract is expiring and they'll probably let him walk or try to sign him cheap. Marion will come off the bench where he is better utilized IMO. I'm sure there's plenty of reasons for wanting him TBH, but mainly to keep him away from signing with the Spurs and because he's young and athletic with a lot of upside.

GOOD BECAUSE BUTLER IS ALOT better IMO spite his age, he can take over there at the 3 and I will not be sad about it! Kidd will be old and retire and they can have Corey at the three while Anderson gets better here and Splitter! They have upside too like Corey does. Sorry I want them to fail bruh, I hate that team and hope they never win a thing! Corey does not have the skillset RJ had nor never will IMO! RJ has had a few years where he was great, not now here with the big three but in NJ AND MILL!

Spurs front office are pretty crafty. May have pretended to be interested in Brewer just to get Cuban to over pay as he thinks he stopped the Spurs from getting the guy.

Check and checkmate.

Duncan is better defensively (possibly a lot better) than Howard

wouldn't trade Manu for Melo

Spurs FO duped the Mavs into signing Brewer/Cuban signing Brewer to keep him away from SA

spurfans are great.

What made this decision especially more puzzling is that once the Mavs top defender, Marion, went down and never returned, the Mavs needed someone - anyone - who they could try and throw at Manu and Tony. Yet Brewer never saw any action.
