Corey Maggette said the same thing right before he signed with the Golden State Warriors....
looks like every team in the nba is trying to block each other
Corey Maggette said the same thing right before he signed with the Golden State Warriors....
Because Maggette thought he was good enough to be the man, or close to it. I don't think Brewer has those dellusions.
Odds are neither the Spurs or Mavs get him.
Boston or Chicago would be my bets
Maggette wanted to be on a winner, chose Golden State cause they offered more money.
Wouldn't shock me at all if Brewer did the same nor would I fault him.

Brewer in process of weighing it all after Monday night recruiting calls from Popovich, Doc R and Cuban. Lakers, to date, have NOT called

Good Cuban talked to him, didn't feel confident if RC was doing the pitching

MEMPHIS – Though the Spurs are taking a serious look at some of the players who have been released in recent days by other teams, head coach and president of basketball operations Gregg Popovich doubts the club will find a player who would figure into his regular playing rotation.
“We’re watching the wire and all the names to see if there is anyone who can fit,” Popovich said after the team’s morning practice at FedEx Forum before Tuesday’s game against the Grizzlies.
“It’s pretty late in the year and I doubt there will be any names we’d be willing to play ahead of the people who have been playing and gotten you where you’re at. With that in mind, one has to wonder what the wisdom there is, unless you think there is somebody good enough that they’re going to play ahead of what you have. I don’t know that there is anybody in that category.”
Popovich did not deny a report on YahooSports that he would meet soon with swing man Corey Brewer, available after being bought out of his contract with the Knicks, but did not elaborate.
“I’m just going to say there are six or seven names out there that R.C. and the boys have put in front of us that we’ve been discussing for the last couple of days.
“We may do something. It’s more likely that we might add somebody now than the likelihood of us having traded somebody at the trade deadline.”
One name Popovich confirmed intrigued the Spurs: Garrett Temple, the combo guard who was with the Spurs for the final weeks of the 2009-10 season and went through most of training camp before being waived.
He called Temple “a very interesting name for us.”
I'd be happy if we picked up Temple and/or Brewer.
Just make a damn decision already.
Don’t listen to Rob Mahoney, Corey Brewer is alright
Rob Mahoney preemptively defended the Knicks’ decision to waive Corey Brewer, and despite the playful le of this post, I agree with him. Corey Brewer wasn’t a great fit for the Knicks. Mahoney:
Brewer may have played regular minutes for Minnesota, but he’s still a very poor offensive player who cannot be relegated to the corner because of his lack of 3-point range. That’s damaging enough on its own, but considering how important the corner 3 is to the Knicks’ offense, Brewer seems to be a particularly poor fit for New York’s rotation.
Having said that, I agree with Henry Abbott’s general assessment of Brewer:
Basically, despite playing for a miserable Timberwolves team, [Brewer] has showed up very well in almost any stat that incorporates defense — plus/minus, adjusted plus/minus, opponents’ productivity, etc. Some of that is probably an artifact of the reality that it’s easy to be efficient when you aspire to do little on offense. Brewer doesn’t take a lot of bad shots, he can feed the post, and he’s incredibly high energy so he cleans up on turnovers and with easy buckets.
Corey Brewer actually improved his shot last season. He shot at least .300 from around the arc, splitting up his accuracy HotSpots style, which was remarkable because you couldn’t pay him to attempt a three during the 08-09 season. He knows his place. His shooting has kind of fallen back this year, and it’s difficult to say whether his three point shot is redeemable (Chip Engelland, look for your Bat Call) or if last season’s improvement was a fluke. But, going with Mahoney, Brewer is not someone whom smart coaches can hide in the corner. Maybe someday. Not today.

Pop and R.C on CIA mode
No . I think we're losing perspective on the guy the longer this drags on. Take a step back and realize it's just Corey Brewer. He's almost become a court legend at this point.
A long athletic long defender like Brewer would be awesome. But I doubt he comes.
Exactly.
Remember the adulation and excitement for Drew Gooden a couple years ago?
I think the Mavs got him since it is being reported that Cuban talked to him.
Cuban will say and promise anything!
@BobCavsinsider: Source said Cavs have NOT made a bid on swingman Corey Brewer. He was recently waived by the Knicks.
Does Corey Brewer really put anybody over the top as a le favorite? He'd be an interesting piece to develop longer-term, but I don't think he changes anybody's fate this postseason.
Cuban had the same conversation with Al Harrington in the summer
face to face and we saw what happened.
Seems like the Mavs never win bids like this,
Al Harrington
Jermaine O'Neal
Udonis Haslem
Probably true, but he fills a void here more then any other team. He most likely wouldn't get as many minutes here compared to Dallas since Neal has been so impressive but he would definitely be useful against the likes of Kobe, Durant, and other stars.
To be fair, Harrington was able to get more playing time in Denver and would have been redundant if Tim Thomas was able to return. O'Neal is a turd and we all lucked out there. And there was no real chance Haslem was going to leave Miami anyway.
True. Damn imagine how screwed we'd be if O'neal signed here.
Haywood and O'Neal as our centers, lucked out
