Rumor has it Pop is guaranteeing him 2 bad jumpers per game before he gets benched. I wonder if Doc will go as high as 3....
I hate to say this, but Doc Rivers is probably a much better salesman than Pop or Carlisle...
Doc is still youthful and can relate to young players and sell them on all that Celtic mystique, teammate loyalty, rah-rah ,etc....
Pop is so straightforward that any prospect might just WANT to be reassured and stroked...and Pop won't play that ...he'll tell him there are no promises, no assurances,etc...
Doc will probably go the opposite way, get on his knees, promise playing time,etc...
This is true, but the Spurs also have plenty of minutes to throw his way. Anderson is still getting integrated back into the line-up and even still at 6'5" is more suited to play the 2. Basically Brewer is RJ's first back-up off the bench. The Spurs are as much a contender as Dallas or Boston, and the Spurs will offer him similar money and more minutes. I like the Spurs' chances.
Boston can't pay him much and he has to play behind Green and Pierce. So I don't think Boston has a compelling argument, unless he wants to play in the eastern conference.
Spurs and Dallas make the most sense and he can make the most money while enjoying playing time on contenders. I think he may actually hurt Dallas's offense because they don't have good enough shooters to compensate for him being on the floor. The Spurs, however, do have more scorers they can put around him. So if he goes to Dallas, I'm not as worried.
dallas has more money and less minutes to offer
boston has less money and less minutes to offer
spurs have less money and MORE minutes to offer
I don't understand why Dallas wants him at all. They are covered at SF with better scorers than Brewer, and they want Pavlovic back too. What gives? Are they doing it just to keep him off the Spurs?
they dont want us to get better by adding him....cuban is an asshole
I hope you are right and I hope he is a reasonable person and sees this, but somehow, I am reminded of how the Celtics pursued and signed Rasheed with a nice sales job and players always WANT TO BE WANTED!
Too bad the kidnapping deadline has already passed, otherwise he would be a Spur already
got u....u r being sarcastic...
This was supposed to be a secret.
After the Perkins/Green trade, Celtics will have a hard time convincing Brewer that there are minutes available for him.
Mavs are Spurs more serious rival for Brewer.

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

Go Get him Pop! I think the spurs have 50% shot at him.
Oops!1 page late
I think so. Given how close the Spurs are to the luxury tax Cuban may just be trying to drive the price up to see if the Spurs will back down.
Brewer would probably start for the Mavs. They need a long, athletic defender in the starting unit, who is also willing to score buckets by cuts and slashing, not just shooting.
It's hilarious how, if the Spurs were about to play the Mavericks, all you guys would be talking about is what a couple of old, ty chokers Peja and Marion are at SF, and how losing Butler was crippling, and how the Mavs will have no answer for RJ.
But, when it's a fight for the same player, suddenly y'alls opinion turns into "The Mavs are ing STACKED at SF why would he want to go there?????"
Rumor has it that the Mavs are indeed selling Brewer on a starting job.
Apparently, he's yet to meet with the Spurs.
That said, it's probably best that we temper our expectations of him coming to the Spurs.
You are probably right, but we wouldn't be wrong either. The "stacked" label is being used considering the number of players not the quality of them. They have enough players in that position right now and if you believe Butler will comeback for the playoffs, they would be literally 0 minutes for him to play there.

The Spurs on the contrary, have only 1 wing player above 6'6 and although minutes are far from guaranteed in any Spur team, the spot is his for the taking. Specially in some matchups.
Hopefully Brewer is not an idiot and thinks he will be the starter when Butler comes back for the playoffs.
Yeah, truth is he probably has most opportunity for both minutes and most money with the Mavs. I really would be suprised if he went to the Spurs. The only team I am (or was) worried about him going to was Boston, but I don't think he will because they don't have much room for him now that they have both Pierce and Jeff Green.
It's simple. They're loaded at SF by comparison. If Brewer wants minutes, he's going to have to fight for them in a Dallas system that is already much better known by two players. The Spurs have RJ and James Anderson, who might be playing more of the 2 until Tony gets back.

Amazing how $88,000,000 a season isn't enough to get solid players for the Mavs.
