Good pickup for them. This doesn't put them over the top, but it sure gets them closer.

Never understood why Brewer doesn't get more attention. Probably because he's a jack of all trades, master of none. But he's a terrific guy off the bench for any team.

spell Brewer with me

s....p....a....r....e

They won't get any offense from him, but he can defend the outside better than any player on that roster.

He's not completely worthless offensively. He's had a rough year on that end, but last year averaged 13 a game shooting 43%FG and 35%3-PT.

Important thing is he's another guy we can use to defend against Ginobili/Kobe come playoff time. Chandler, Dirk, Peja, Beaubois, Kidd, Haywood, Marion, Terry, Barea, Brewer, Mahinmi, Stevenson = incredibly deep 12 man roster

And if he were a spare, San Antonio and Boston wouldn't have been interested (even if their interest were only to block him from going elsewhere, that still recognizes his ability to contribute).

lol at D'antoni. If he's not a great offensive player then he's useless on the Knicks. 3 of the teams that love to focus on advanced stats were all over him (Boston/San Antonio/Dallas), and Dallas had the best offer. He has the potential to be an elite perimeter defender/slasher. I doubt he saves the Mavs from a 2nd round exit, but he's a nice asset for the next few years.

too late in the season for him to make a difference. oh, and he's corey freaking brewer. this isn't march madness.

Simplebay, you suck.

I think he makes a Mavs team that is playing lights out even better - tough to be upset about that. Great pickup for the Mavs

rasher, if Brewer plays more than 12 minutes in a single game this season, i will admit i suck.

otherwise, you suck. so suck it.

brewer is a "situational defender" in coachspeak. wanna spell with me again? D...N...P...

I will dominate brewer

Spoken like a true basketball idiot if you think this guy sucks. I look forward to him shutting down Kobe and the Mavs waltzing to the Finals.

Just in case he pusses out and edits

You don't sign a guy for 3 years at $7 mil to sit him on the bench. He will contribute maybe; not much this year, but count on him being a regular next season for sure.

I was hoping the Spurs would get him and that he could develop into Bowen 2.0; phenomenal defense, and maybe an improved corner 3 shot.

Great pickup for the Mavs, but I don't know if it will help them this year or if it will take a few.

I am glad that as soon as they got rid of Dampier's albatross of a contract they took on Haywood's (large pelican?) contract.
