Buyout Options?

[yavozerb]

Brewer in a spurs uni is a must..

[Ditty]

if spurs get corey brewer

nba= ed

[MarHill]

Yeah, I just heard that Brewer is in the process of being bought out by the Knicks a few minutes ago as well.

I would like him at the back up 3 for the stretch run.

[Darkwaters]

Worse than Tony's injury is all the idiots thinking bringing in somebody else, who doesn't know anything about the Spurs system, will be effective.

I'm more interested in Brewer for what he'll mean next year. Backup SF has been our biggest hole, and having him there would be incredible.

[coyotes_geek]

+1 on Brewer.

Between Hill, Manu & Quinn the Spurs can survive Tony's absence.

[JR3]

Wow.. havn't got my hopes up for any of the buy outs, but now I really want brewer.

[DesignatedT]

Yeah Brewer would be nice.

My question is of all the four teams who can give him the most money???

[Hoops Czar]

Don't get your hopes up.. Brewer won't pick the Spurs over the Celts or Mavs.

According to Shamsports, Boston & OKC can only offer league min.

Spurs have $1.72M of the MLE left or the BAE, $2.08M, which they can use.

Dallas has their full MLE.

I could see him picking the celtics, but unless Cuban wants to throw a good chunk of his MLE at Brewer, I don't see why he'd sign there when Marion & Peja are already eating up all the SF minutes.

[cd98]

Crap. Dallas with full MLE. They already have the second highest payroll and they still can buy more players? NBA should fix that.

[Ditty]

I wouldn't see why brewer would want to go to the mavs they're stacked with wings

unless the mavs just want to screw over the spurs

I'd assume Brewer would jump Peja in the rotation. Peja was just an impulsive add-on when Butler went down.

[SenorSpur]

Brewer has been and absolutely would be my first choice addition. Though I can't understand why the Knicks would buy him out, yet keep Renaldo Balkman.

As for the financial aspect, I know the Spurs are limited financially, so it's quite possible they couldn't give Brewer the highest offer. He is scheduled to be a free agent at season's end, so perhaps he's not trying to break for the remainder of the year.

Make that run, RC.

[cd98]

Couple million extra reasons to pick Mavs. Of course I doubt the Mavs pay the full MLE to him. They just have to offer more than the Spurs.

He gets a chance to play with a contender either way. And Mavs's small forwards mostly suck. They would have a killer defensive team with Chandler and Brewer. Dirk is the only one that is allowed to shoot anyway.

Still, Spurs would be perfect fit as well.

Celtics have Pierce and Green to play small forward. He'd be wasting his time in Celtic land. He'd have a better chance outcompeting relics like Marion and Peja for playing time.

well the mavs are #3, Celts are #4, spurs are #13, and OKC are #25 in team salaries. So I think only the thunder could outbid SA and if I am Brewer, OKC isn't looking to bad with PT also..

[k_nguyen93]

OKC probably offers the most playing time with Green gone. They have who, Sefolosha?

Celtics least likely unless he thinks they are the best team. They're already exploring Murphy/Powe/Bibby options. Greene and Pierce are there as well.

Dallas could offer him that long term contract he might be looking for with potential lockout. Would Cuban offer that for him to play behind Peja/Marion with Butler rumored to be back sometime in the playoffs?

You can make the relic arguement with Peja, but no way Brewer plays ahead of Marion.

Yet, it took RJ a full season to adapt to the Spurs system. Brewer will learn it in a month and change?

Spurs are compe ive here. Rest assured though, if Cubes has the full MLE he'll use it rather than seeing Brewer come to SA.

Let me correct myself. If he joins the Mavs in the starting line up, they'll have Kidd, Brewer, and Chandler: three players that can't make a shot outside of a dunk or a layup. They may be too offensively challenged to play together. On the Spurs, you can get away with that because you can bulk the line up with plenty of other scorers.

Apples and Oranges. Backup 3 vs Starting 3. Brewer can be brought along and know enough to be effective in spot minutes come playoff time.
