I think you should switch your avatar and signature around.
So this is the GOAT top teams were after?

What Cuban and Carlisle want tend to be different. lol
But, but, but he's the Mavs savior!
And so was Chandler, and so was Roddy B....
Spurs did not get him ... success for Cuban
I would love to have him with the Spurs. He's a pretty good defender and he'd probably fit in with the Spurs pretty well. I don't think he'd allow Marion to dominate him like Marion did with Bonner either.
Very strange decision by Carlisle. I would have thrown him at Manu, especially in the 4th quarter. Maybe he's holding that wrinkle back for the playoffs? Or is Brewer not sufficiently up on their system to the point where he's getting in the way and interrupting the team's flow? He looked good in one of the games I saw soon after he joined the Mavs.
Yeah it looks like the move now was more to block the spurs from getting brewer. I wonder if Brewer would change his mind now but at the same time I bet pop would have been left on the bench himself.
Some coaches privilege the system over the talent. That's why Stevenson starts for Dallas or Bogans starts for Chicago. Carlisle barely playing Beaubois in last year playoffs while he was awesome was also a consequence of him being a system first coach.
This is the correct answer.
Brewer and his offense is a problem for the Mavs unlike the Spurs. You can't have too many offensively challenged players on the court at once and Dallas, formerly a scoring team, is now more of a defensive team and their limited scoring makes it difficult for him to get in important games like ones with the Spurs.
The Spurs, on the other hand, have plenty of scoring options such that they could absorb his inferior offensive skills and still be effective.
It may have been a product of seeing what I wanted to see, but at the end of the game, as the players were heading to the locker rooms, the camera caught Corey Brewer passing by several Spurs and I could have sworn he looked like a guy who just realized he made a bad decision.
Keith Bogans > Corey Brewer except when it comes to age and potential
Anyway Brewer should be getting more opportunities since Marion hurt his wrist last night. Plus he got more $$$ with the Mavs which is also pretty important when it comes to siding with the Mavs over the Spurs. To me his real value is his potential since I doubt he'll have much of an impact for this season and at age 25 he's still got time to develop.

Apparently so. It's too bad that Corey Brewer didn't understand that when making his decision.
+1. This
The way the Spurs played defense last night, I don't see how Brewer would have helped the Spurs. If he were six inches taller, well the Spurs wouldn't even have wanted him in that case.
brewer > hill
Only in height.
Hey, Brewer is the dip who decided to go to Dallas.
Hope he is enjoying all those meaningful minutes down there, since he sure as won't be enjoying a championship.
Corey Brewer chased dollars instead of the best place for his abili es. The press in Dallas was touting Brewer as some kind of Bowen starter kit. Whatever. Brewer is a nice role player, but Bruce Bowen was a unique talent in a unique situation in SA.
Cuban wanted to prevent SA or some other contender from signing him and so he guarantees a three year deal for Brewer. Money talks, but it doesn't play basketball.
Once again (as he did with Brenda Haywood) Cubes bid against himself and signed the guy to a three year guaranteed deal before he set foot in Dallas. Dallas will also overpay for the guy who replaced the $8-9MM per year Haywood, when Chandler's deal expires after this season. You know what happens then? Tyson goes back into Hornet mode and has back problems when the guaranteed 5 year deal for $60-65MM has been inked.
The beat goes on in Mavericks land.
Hooks , you the man. Big L was underrated .
ronnie > corey
spurfans are so clueless, it has to be painful.
Brewer played the worst quarter of defense one could play in the 1st quarter against the Warriors leading to a double digit lead. But Pop doesn't sit players for an extended time when they the bed either does he?
I was under the impression that Dallas would have gotten him regardless bc of the waiver process.
I thought he cleared waivers but I'm not at all certain and too lazy to look.
