Shut up and listen to what Spurs fans are telling you, namely he will not get playing time with a loser team like the Mavs!
Take you bias out of the equation for a second (if you're capable of doing so). The Mavs have Stojakovic/Marion manning the three. They also, at times, will play three guards along the perimeter. Also, supposedly, Butler plans to return early in the playoffs. If so, would they even have room on the active roster for Brewer? Probably not. Is their a chance for him to be a piece going forward? Probably not.
Face it, the only reason the Mavs are interested is because they're desperate, greedy and love to make headlines. If they bring back Pavlovic, it's to be the 12th-13th man and if/when they're healthy, guaranteed inactive. Why would Brewer, a rotation caliber player, want that? He can go to a better team with more of a need for him.
With the Spurs, he can step right in and potentially play rotation minutes. They could have Neal play in tandem with Ginobili as the backup point and have either Anderson or Brewer playing backup three. Their might even be minutes for both on occasion. Also, like I said, he could potentially be a piece going forward, considering how shallow the Spurs are at SF and their need for a long, athletic perimeter defender.
I'm not just saying it because I'm a Spurs fan and would like to see them sign him. Murphy's been bandied about for weeks and I've repeatedly said, he's not a fit and the Spurs more than likely won't have any interest. Brewer is a different story, though.

Interesting. I have to take bias out, but you don't.
Pavlovic started and they found success while he was with the team, including a win over the Lakers.
would be nice to see this in a Spurs uniform!!!
Tell me a player the Mavs are not interested? If someone spread a false rumor about Dr. J being available, I'm sure the Mavs would be interested in him too.
They're a desperate, greedy team, that loves to make headlines. It's been made abundantly clear. Why else would they have stacked player on top of player over the years that they didn't need and rarely played? This is just the latest example.
I know Pavlovic started and they got away with it for a while. I said if he's brought back, he won't have a role, barring injury. He's a fringe player, so he'll take any deal he can get, but Brewer is a young, rotation caliber player. Why would he want to be stuck at the end of the Mavs bench and (if/when healthy), in a suit? Unless the difference in the offers is huge, which I doubt (considering the Mavs are already paying $13 million in tax, would have to pay double whatever they paid him and don't need him), it makes no sense.
Spurs have little to no chance, IMO. I think the pecking order is Dallas, Boston, then the Spurs. Hope I'm wrong.
BJ & DPG say yes.
Wow...very interesting development. He is a player I have long coveted for the Spurs. I'm not gonna hold my breath because as someone else mentioned, Miami/Boston are sexier picks...but hopefully he can be convinced to head to SA.
If he is smart he will come here.
Spurs FO should be all over this...
Top defender in SEC one year and MVP of Final Four in 2007. Lotter pick went #7.
24 yo. 6-9 athletic defender at SF? Makes $2.9 million this year.
Might be worth a trial run.
Isn't Murphy supposed to go to BOS, and Butler to MIA?...
Why would NY do this? Surely he still has value as a trade chip and they just gutted their roster to get Melo. He's a #7 pick with 3 years experience so I was surprised when Minny even traded him, now this?
In their minds, assembling a roster with the best talent =
I'm with you. I've long wanted this guy on the Spurs roster.
I don't think we need to worry about Miami. They're in the bidding for Murphy and Bibby and look to be leading the pack there.
Boston may be sexy, but they don't have enough PT to offer him. Why would he go there to play behind Pierce and Green.
Spurs are the perfect fit. That's not to say that this is a slam-dunk signing, but is sure makes the most sense for both sides.
Brewer is not a Mav kind of player. His offense is average at best, but he excels on the defensive end. This is something the Mavs and their fans will never respect.
Boston and SA are good fits for Brewer because of their historical passion for defense. Boston does not seem like a team that will have PT for Brewer. SA would be a perfect fit except Pop is not an easy coach to get PT from as a new player, but Brewer definitely seems to be a Spurs kind of player.
lol fisher getting a facial
interesting...what i don't understand tho is why is mason still on the knick's bench
D'Antoni would rather have a has been offensive player than a ready now defender.

@varner48MoH Re: Ford and Brewer. No way to sign both and stay under luxury tax. Ford will get you frighteningly close to that line, too.
It's Brewer than.
+1 that was what I was thinking especially if Parker will be out around the 4 week period
I don't think Holt is that much of a cheap ass
how much should the spurs pay if they are over the luxury tax?
