Great pickup for the Mavs.

[TE]

I'll give you that the Spurs FO missed on a couple of guys but LA and Boston got away with highway robbery (lol collusion) so quickly, that it would've been impossible for the Spurs to catch them within 1-2 years

It's been more than 2 years. Guess it's time for the Spurs to get theirs.

If the Spurs had signed Corey Brewer, it would have shelved Anderson. Granted, Anderson has been injured, looks stiff and moves like he's at half-speed all the time time but he did show the Spurs some good things prior to his injury.

[Agloco]

Would he magically be able to shoot if he were to join the Spurs instead?

Of course.

[Agloco]

Please, for the love of all that is unholy - namely, this guy - don't spin this as being a bad move for the Mavericks or a stupid decision by Brewer. Let's not go Full Re .

+1

He made a good decision. Period.

[Budkin]

We didn't need him for shooting... we need defense like a mofo.

I think I disagree with some of you that the Mavs were a "bad matchup" for the Spurs already before this signing. I actually think the Spurs have done a very nice job since 2007 of reshaping their roster to eliminate some of those matchup problems with the Mavs (lack of Bowen aside).

But adding Brewer definitely does create a matchup problem.

I agree with everything but Brewer being added creating a matchup problem.

I'd say the Spurs had/have compensated a great deal for the problems the Mavs caused for a while there and that this signing allows the Mavs to gain a little ground back. Brewer will certainly help to lessen the effectiveness of Manu at times, but only lessen and only at times.

It's gonna be another dogfight if they meet - per the usual.

[lmbebo]

remember though. Anderson has been out of basketball for awhile. He was injured late last year in college, skipped the summer league to heal for training camp then was injured very early in the season. He has been out of the game for awhile and will be hard for him to get into back into his rhythm and pick up spurs defense and offense. I saw the game against memphis on sunday. Pop was always calling him over to explain where he needed to be.

Brewer would have come in, maybe a little behind where JA is with his understanding of how things work but would have been in better shape and would not be getting the rookie treatment.

We lost more by forcing the development of JA.

Considering basketball is a game of runs, being able to lessen the effectiveness of a key player just a bit for a short while, often ends up being the difference between a win and a loss. No one can shut down a guy like Kobe, Bron, Wade, or even Ginobili, but if you can simply harass them out of easy buckets for a short 1-2 minute stretch while your team is scoring efficiently, that can make all the difference in the world.

Great move for the Mavs, grats.

To bad the Spurs couldn't sway him, oh well.

[slick'81]

Spurs again left high and dry

[jjktkk]

Brewer would of been a solid addition, but the Spurs are use to "dancing with the one that brought yea".

[NASpurs]

A 24-year old player choosing more money/longer contract deal over what the Spurs and Celtics offered? What a shock.

[sefant77]

a nice addition.

Mavs just had Marion and Peja for SF, Marion also backing up Dirk. Stevenson is too short for SF, Cardinal too slow (and sucking). It was really important to get another quality wing player with size.

Now we can go with the matchups, how hot/cold is Peja shooting, how much D we need...

Brewer would have been a better fit for the Spurs, had a bigger impact and role within their team and concept in the long term, imo, but signing with one of the three best teams in the West and securing himself for the future financially with a pending CBA, is not a poor decision - he's not a star, he's already torn an ACL and there's no guarantee he recoups the money he potentially would have lost by signing with the Spurs or Celtics.

Good get, Mavfan. ... Would've been a great get for Spurs, but the Mavs are certainly better than they were a few hours ago.

All of this.

Brewer made a very good decision (he's got one of the best agents in the business) and Dallas got a good young player at a great price.

That's it.

[Mel_13]

He would not have seen much PT in SA this year. In Dallas he may start. Dallas still not close to beating SA in a 7 game matchup.

That said spurs have done a poor job again this year making a deal to give us some help inside. The price for being cheeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaappp may be winning a le.

lol Shaq

Interesting.

[spurtech09]
