I think it may have been an exception with him because our defense is so poor, but overall yeah newcomers don't play for .
I wish. My wife just started a new job so we aren't going anywhere anytime soon. I am off tomorrow though, so that's better than nothing.

Is that supposed to mean that Corey Brewer would have led us to the promiseland?
The defense is not poor, it's inconsistent. The Spurs have played some of the best defense of any team I've watched this year . . . It just mostly occurs in the 4th quarter. You don't win 50/61 playing poor defense.
Anderson had a few decent shooting games in the first few games of the season. I don't know where you extract from those few games that he has more potential than Brewer. We don't know if he is a rotation player and he's probably two seasons away from proving it.
Brewer is a rotation player and I'd bet his offensive numbers improve with Mavs. Big loss for the Spurs.
This thread is not about the Spurs missing out on Brewer not being a loss. I never said the Spurs didn't miss out or Dallas wasn't fortunate to get him. Why people bother to respond when they don't read the OP is beyond me.
The observation that Anderson has more potential than Brewer comes from watching both players and seeing that Brewer is a one dimensional player (I'm also not saying that the Spurs couldn't have used the defense at that position so, don't get the wrong idea) and Anderson possesses a more complete set of offensive skills and a potential to be very good defender. Brewer is in his 4th year in the league and still hasn't developed any offensive game to speak of despite getting heavy minutes on a perennial lottery team. In 1/8 of games played Anderson has shown he has the potential to be a complete two-way player.
how swiftly things change
Hi, DMC!
I was using the term parodically tbh.
How many accounts did you start after being banned?
Let's not forget a lot of posters were content with Anderson being the back-up SF when he was healthy. I definitely think the addition of Brewer would have hindered Anderson's development to the point where the Spurs would trade him away for a bag of chips.
IIRC, Anderson made very little rookie mistakes.
Who cares about the future, the Spurs should be focused on the now. The Spurs F.O. is top blame for this mess. The spurs chose to resign Bonner and RJ instead of freeing up some money and now you have the most expensive three-point shooter in the NBA and a one-dimensional center who stands on the perimeter waiting for his three or four touches per game while eating up 20 minutes/game. Sentimentality won out over making the team better.
Mavs are gonna win the west with this signing. Brewer is a Kobe-stopper.... -Just saying
Great ing takes
Yeah just like this guy...
brewer and the mavs
the bus isnt making anymore stops
the pedal is to the floor and the spurs are ready to roll over whoever is in the way.
You've observed Anderson since he came back? His offense looks nonexistent (before he left he shot well, but not enough games to warrant any kind of a conclusion). His defense has not been spectacular and his offense appears to be limited to shooting the open three. He had a bit more diversity in the D-league, but I'm sure Brewer would be a 20 point scorer in the D-league. Yes, Anderson may develop into more, but he has yet to show it on the court; and I have seen nothing that would conclude that he will be a better player than Brewer in five years.
Brewer has shown he is a top notch defender. Give him the chance to develop his offense game on a decent team. He's played on the T'Wolves for 4 years; I bet we see an improvement with the Mavs (I only hope we don't see it in the playoffs).
He is, obviously, working his way back into a rotation that has been set without his availability and coming off an injury. Of course, my observations are not solely based on the few minutes he's received since rejoining the team. I watched some games he played in while on the Toros, his 13 games before he was injured and a few of college games as well. He has better offensive skills than Brewer. Period.
Again . . . this is not about Brewer being a good/bad player. It's about what Anderson can bring to the Spurs in comparison to Brewer. My point is, he has had 4 years to develop his offense on a team where he gets plenty of opportunities and he has yet to do so. He not going to magically develop an offensive game on a good team. The Mavs signed him for his specific skill set . . . defense, because that is what has kept him in the league. If anything improves right away it will be his shooting % because he will get more open looks on a good team, but his attempts are going to fall dramatically.
Can you at least try to comprehend what I am saying before responding? This is getting laborious and tiresome.
Brewer actually would of had a better chance to develop more offensively with a bad team. And with this being Brewer's 4th season, how much more longer does it take to develop an offensive game? Brewer's a solid defender and would of helped the Spurs, but hes not gonna all of a sudden breakout on offense.
I was pissed who's going to shut down Kobe or Pierce. Guards score at ease on us.
More good news is only 5 guys can play at any time. If Brewer had come he would have indeed taken more time from Anderson, who is a better package all around. We will need to give more playing time to Anderson instead. Also as far as depth goes Dice, Neal, Anderson, Bonner, Hill and Tiago coming off the bench isn't horrible. Everybody steps up their defense and I like our chances, with or without Brewer.
