Here is an interesting analysis on Brewer:

Money + years. Who can offer it right now with labor squabbles likely on the way?

Dallas will go after Corey Brewer because it tactically makes sense. Getting Brewer means the Spurs don't have him.

This:

That said, there is a reason the Knicks are open to the idea of dealing Brewer — a former No. 7 overall pick who averaged 13 points per game last season — again before the trade deadline. Although the Knicks need to shore up their defense, but a single effort defender on the perimeter isn’t going to solve many problems. Playing Brewer regularly certainly won’t hurt New York on defense, but he has a very limited defensive impact and shouldn’t be expected to do more than stay in front of his man and grab a few steals. He is far from the Bruce Bowen defensive-stopper ideal; New York may not have a more consistently successful perimeter defender on staff, but there’s one glaring concern: Brewer’s competent defense comes with a significant offensive trade-off.

“Three and D” specialists in the Bowen mold are useful in part because they don’t step outside themselves on offense. They spot up in the corner or run the baseline, but only impact the game offensively when gifted the opportunity. Passes out of double-teams, drive-and-kick feeds – these are the mechanisms that allow perimeter defensive specialists to score. Otherwise, such players are nonfactors on offense.

That’s not the case with Brewer, who has posted a significantly higher usage rate than Shane Battier, James Jones, or many of his other perimeter defending contemporaries. Brewer fancies himself a more active participant in the offense, and unfortunately for the Wolves and now the Knicks, that mindset results in a lot of errant jumpers. He doesn’t break even; Brewer is using too many possessions on low-percentage shots, and not making the kind of widespread defensive impact that could balance out his offensive deficit.

Can't sleep so much going thru my head its tough right now. Thanks to all the people following me for all the support

[007nites]

I hope we get him. Having a 6'9" guy with long arms at SF position with decent defensive abilities would be great for us. We could use him on Durant/Odom type of players.

[cutewizard]

get Corey now, front office pls

[cutewizard]

i wonder what the FO is doing right now

[cutewizard]

i think if we got Corey and Pryz, its the NBA le

Yeah and if we get Love and Griffin it's a dynasty.

While I personally think Dallas would be a good fit and ideal destination, I don't know if Cuban will want to commit money to Corey.

Brewer might get a few minutes at first in Dallas but would get buried at the end of the bench because they do not respect a defensive specialist the way the Spurs do.

Here, just the opposite would happen. He may not see minutes at first, but because of his defense he could get regular minutes by the end of the season.

Having said that it all may be moot as according to The New York Daily News the Knicks have waived Kelenna Azubuike. Azubuike is in the final year of his contract, being paid $3.3 million.


No need to buy out Brewer, now.

Didn't he sign with the Knicks already?

He got traded to the Knicks. He has negotiated a buyout according to Marc Stein (who is as reliable a source as can be). He's free to sign anywhere he pleases.

[Agloco]

I don't see why the Spurs would need to sign both. Brewer would get minutes right out of the gate, which would take away the minutes Manu was playing at SF and would free him up to help play PG by committee(with Hill and Quinn) until Parker returns.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Brewer gets some of Manu's minutes and some of y J's if he's playing like ass. Manu plays more point until TP gets right.

I thought the Brewer buy-out was a done deal no?

Corey Brewer expected to speak to Rick Carlisle, Gregg Popovich and Doc Rivers today, league source says. More teams calling free agent too.

[Muser]

If there's anyone that can persuade him to come it's pop . Go get him Gregg.

[Leetonidas]

C'mon Pop, give him a key to the wine cellar

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Shortest phone call ever.

"Corey, Gregg Popovich. How are you doing today?"
"I'm good, just looking forward to-"
"Four rings, ."
"Excuse me?"
"Four rings, !"
"I don't have to take this, Doc said that-"
"FOUR RINGS, !!!"
"Where do I sign, sir?"

[Budkin]

CIA in full effect today!

[spursballer21]

My bad. Sorry about that. Well, why didn't the Knicks keep him?

[Agloco]

He doesn't really fit in with their offensive schemes. They need corner 3 ballers and he definitely doesn't fit the mold.
