Portland interested in Corey Brewer

Vince Carter would be exciting!

 

Yes! This is the bench player we need. We need guys who can score off the bench. That is our main issue.

 

That was the highlight of robinson’s career

 

You know what Paul George would see more of playing with Corey Brewer - double teams. Teams could completely sag off Brewer and double team George (or Westbrook, or Melo - whoever has the ball).

OKC actually needs shooting more than POR does. They also need bench scoring. Brewer gives them neither. OKC is currently 25th of 30 in 3FG% and 21st of 30 in FG% and 29th of 30 in FT%. That ranks them 24th of 30 teams in TS%. They are the worst shooting team of any team contending for a playoff spot in either conference.

Adding a guy who has never been a good shooter (.424 career FG%, .280 career 3FG%, .711 career FT%) who is on the downside of his career isn't going to help matters.

When was the last time Corey played good defense, 2013? For the past few years, he's been terrible at guarding SGs, which is most likely where he'd play if he started for OKC. He's not even close to Andre Roberson's level of defense, and is an even worse shooter. I honestly think OKC is better off, both short term and long, just playing their youngsters.

Although Brewer's salary won't be huge. The vet min for a player with 10 years experience = $2,328,652 prorated over the remainder of the season is only about $600K, but OKC's notoriously cheap owners are already $13 million over the luxury tax threshold. Adding Brewer would increase their already huge tax bill by another $1.2 million. So, they'd be looking at $1.8 million in salary and tax for a 20 game rental of Corey Brewer.

That's not Evan Turner bad, but Turner is actually the better player at this point and I'm all for any move that costs OKC's cheap owners money while not improving their team.

No to Brewer, and HELL NO to Vince Carter.

 

Brewer play two years in college for Donovan I read....book it...he's going to OKC

 

And it's not Evan close.

 

It's not Evan Glenn Close

 

Would much rather have Ersan Ilyasova.

 

Nevermind, he's signing with the Sixers, booooooo. No on Brewer.

 

I said I wanted Vince Carter a few days ago and BonesJones blasted me for it. Wasn't Brewer involved in that miraculous comeback for the Rockets over the Clippers a few years ago?

 

Corey Brewer?

I'd rather sign Punky Brewster.

 

Looks like OKC is the likely destination for Brewer:

admit it....you have always wanted Vince Carter

 

Who wouldn't want Carter on their team the past nearly twenty years?

 

Is he playing next season? I’d love to have him.

 

What does Brewer actually do that makes him a worthwhile acquisition? He doesn't shoot, he doesn't score, he doesn't even defend particularly well.
