Ronnie Brewer to the Knicks

[RajonRondo]

Knicks are quietly assembling a nice caste of role players however I still see major issues meshing melo and amare. Even with those two, i don't think they have enough pure talent to compete with the likes of heat, thunder, Lakers and even grizzlies.

Lol grizzlies they aren't even good why pure talent do they have? Who is ur stay Rudy who with them almost didn't even make the playoffs c'mon son stop being a homer and hater knocks have the best bench in the league along with best defensive center besides Howard... Which is currently having a major back issue. Heat don't have a super strong bench lakers are the only competitors a

you my friend, need to get your facts straight. Memphis is a very balanced team and was easily a playoff team. Rudy gay is a solid player. Memphis matches up with ny in every facet of the game

gasol-chandler both solid 7 footers
amare-randolph - anybody with knowledge about basketball would undoubtedly agree randolph is a more productive beast.
Gay-melo both solid sf's

bayless/allen - smith/brewer pretty equal

conley >>> felton big time

i think any body with a good amount of knowledge about the game would agree that memphis is better then NY. Though it may not be by much they are definitely better. MEM would be 2-3 in east. while NY would be struggling to capture the 8th seed in the west. IMO

lol no , smith/brewer is better than bayless/allen. smith is a way better scorer than bayless , and brewer and allen are equal defensively. and bayless is a point guard anyways? lol. you guys are weak at the sg spot.

What are the Bulls doing? Good God... they can't shell out the minimum for a 28 year old who played nearly 25 minutes for them last year, yet they sign Vlad "Snowboard" Radmanovic. That Rose injury must be a lot worse than what is being said.

Do you even know what you are talking about? Bulls wouldn't of had to pay Brewer minimum last year, they would of had to pay him the $5M per his contract. They waived him. I doubt he wanted to come back after they did that to him. Plus, they probably don't want him anyway. They'd rather play Jimmy Butler this year to get him at a level ready to play and contribute way more than Brewer once Rose is healthy.

[Casketje]

Really? They waived him? LOL that's even funnier. Sure, he doesn't have an offensive game but he's an above average defender. If it's for salary reasons I think there are other, shall we say more suitable players on that roster to amnesty.

[Mr Knick]

The Woodson stamp, Knicks adding more defensive. To get key stops at the end of the game. [sweet pick up]

[Durant Durant]

brewer is on a decline

Besides being a better rebounder, how is Randolph better than Amare? Both are poor defenders and Amare, in a down season, put up the same type of efficiency as Randolph in some of his best seasons. Also, Gay vs Melo is a wash? It's arguable whether Gay is a top 5 SF in the league and you put it as wash between him and Melo? If Conley >>> Felton, Melo >>>>>> Gay

Actually said he wanted to come back, just don't thnk the Bulls had a good playing time/salary offer for him. I don't believe he would have taken the minimum with the Bulls.

Nice pickup for the Knicks though.

Have a nice day.

[Mr Knick]

D'Antoni only wanted offensive minded players, nice to see Knicks management adding defensive minded players.Love when the Garden chants for D. I think Brewer and Shumpert will be great wing defenders. [when 21 Shump St returns] With Tyson & Camby in the lane, Knicks could be a top 3 defense next season. Plus have the ability to get key stops at the end of the game.

[jc23]

Brewer is still a very good defender (but not better then Allen) that plays the baseline very well. His jump shot is broken becuase of a childhood accident and his athleticism is on the decline.

A very cheap 1 year pick up for the knicks. Much like bky and Watson they have benefited from Chicago's pay cuts.

A major reason Ronnie was let go was because of the emergence of Jimmy Butler (similar game as Brewer). Who Chicago is very high on

[TheToothFairy]

Why do the Bulls have so many problems resigning their own players

And how do u know sign Brewer and Watson for the minimum?

[RoyalWun]

Felton - Kidd
Brewer - Smith - (Shumpert)
Anthony - Novak
Stoudemire - Thomas
Chandler - Cambu

Not bad Knicks, not bad.

Edit: I find it funny both Watson and Brewer will be playing in New York this year.

Well in terms of Watson, Korver and Brewer it was a money thing. Chicago has basically said we know the team is not going to win a ship this year (due to Derrick) so we will look to the future.

Boozer will get the amnesty at some point but to do it now would be stupid.

I read Brewer was on a 1 year 1.? million dollar deal with ny and Watson is playing for around the same. maybe a few 100 thousand dollar difference, i dont know but i do know they both took cheap deals for a single season.

Glad CAA finally threw us a bone.

[Blazing_royale]

i remmeber him a skinny jazz player, now he's Big

[Mr Swagtastic]

should fill in nicely for Shumpart and Fields at the SG for The Knicks next year he's a solid pickup for The Knicks

Well his contract with us was for 4-5 million. Once he was waived, would he really want to come back to the team that waived him for minimum?

Anyway, Brewer is a really nice and pesky defender. Some of the steals he gets just make no damn sense. Plays the baseline very well. Besides that, not much else. Good luck to him.

Bulls didn't want them because they aren't very good. Really average talent.

Jimmy Butler already projects to be a better player than Brewer next year. Brewer gives you nice hustle but you shouldn't guard him outside the paint and probably leads the league in missed dunks.
