Spurs should be thankful because compared to the last couple of years, there are some good available SF that can possibly make a difference in the playoffs.
I don't see him wanting to go to a lottery team (He's probably had enough of that already) and I don't see a lottery team wanting him. That said, there is a possibility that a lottery team could be the blocker here:
"Brewer is on the books for $3.7 million this season, which means that any team at least that amount under the salary cap -- including the Kings and Cavaliers -- could claim Brewer off of waivers and prevent him from signing with a contender. ."

spurs fans blowin up his twitter account. nice job
What the s with Cuban and the Mavs?????????????
We want Butler, so now they want Butler.
Then we want Brewer, so now they want Brewer instead.
Do they have to copy everything we do?
They have plenty of SF already.
We are the team that needs one.
Maybe we should announce we want RMJ back.
someone link him this thread
Cuban is a talent-hoarder. Just look up and down his roster. He's always believed that if he is leads NBA owners in talent grabs, he'll have more success.

@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.
Warriors just bought out Murphy and both Boston and Miami want him.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/story?id=6166159
ESPN just stated he is leaning towards signing with Miami..
If this has already been posted, sorry.
If Ford and Brewer wouldn't be worth going over the tax for, how about Bibby and Brewer?
Has Ford even been bought out yet?
Screw that. If the Spurs elected to sign Ford, he'd have about two weeks, which wouldn't give him even enough time to learn the offense and gain the trust of the coaching staff. The Spurs can survive Parker's absence for two weeks.
Brewer, on the other hand, could be integrated slowly and without a timetable. The instant benefit is his ability to defend. The Spurs could leverage that immediately and down the road. A Brewer signing makes better sense.
Mike Wells: Pacers and T.J. Ford still trying to work out a buyout. Ford wants to know a team will sign him before agreeing to the buyout. about 3 hours ago

Too bad Azubuike is injured...
http://twitter.com/#!/CSheridanESPN
Knicks waived K.Azubuike, and C.Brewer buyout should be completed Tuesday. J.Jeffries is coming, and maybe D.Gadzuric? http://es.pn/eVOp7G
So who do we get, who'dweget?
I am still holding out for Tayshaun Prince being waived from the Pistons..... If Joe Dumars has got an iota of self respect, he would have to get rid of some of his "boycotting" veterans and Prince seems to a likely candidate after being such a malcontent under Kuester. If Prince gets waived, I presume McDyess could be busy on his phone for a bit.
Tay is making $11 mill this season... and letting him walk won't fix the issue of the other vets with the coach. I don't see it.
Prince would just end up with Dallas if waived. I hope he stays in Detroit.
Pro-rate it and his remaining amount would be far lesser - about $3-4 million. And he could negotiate a decent buyout if he can recoup some of it from the Spurs' remaining cap room.
As for the other vets on the bench, Rip is going nowhere with a lot of money and years remaining in his contract. While T-Mac could go, he hasn't been half as much a malcontent as Prince has been. And other vets - Wallace and Wilcox .. the former will retire soon, while the latter is not going anywhere else.
Why would Spurs fans be hoping for a malcontent to join the Spurs when things are going so well?
I hope that nobody else gets bought out tbqh. We are fine the way were are and definitely don't need opposing contenders getting better and signing high caliber players. It's all pretty re ed to me actually.
I think that if Dumars really wanted to move Tay, he could have easily traded him, being he's an expiring and what not. I think what happens in Detroit is Kuester getting fired as soon as they have a new owner in place. After that, they'll probably offer Tay an extension.
It was difficult to trade him, because the Pistons were not going to take back anymore salaries till their ownership muddle was resolved. They could have tried an expirings for expirings trade for Prince, but I think that Dumars needed more value.
The player boycott though must force his hand now. After coming out with a statement in favour of Kuester today, there is no way Dumars can go back to the "Support Vets" line.
