I would have much rather traded for Rondo with Brewer being owed $5 million next year, but I guess Morey thinks he will be easy to move if we can land a player like Dragic. At least you guys can't complain about Morey not going all in this year.
Don't know if this has been posted, but it's a great article about Brewer and "the art of the leak out" : http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on...the-art-of-the-leak-out-starring-corey-brewer
I wouldn't call that a disaster last year. It was a very minor move that would be great if it worked out and wouldn't be a big deal if it didn't.

Defense. More defense in a defense minded team. Troy was just little offense off the bench who barely got time on the court.
You mean we're gonna have to keep giving him one (or two)-year deals like Francisco Garcia because he opted out?! <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>Pretty likely Brewer negotiated deal w/ Rockets over what they'd pay him next year if he opts out this summer.

Although getting Brewer doesn't seem a lots, but base on Morey's trading history of the pass and he also gave up on Daniels, he gave up picks for player whose not even a starter in this team. I do agree the feeling is he is willing to go all in this year. McHale always like to play vets and he hates to give young players too much playing time. It seems to me Morey is giving in to some extent this season and really wants to go for it.
Bev is a Morey guy, I seriously doubt he will give him up for even Dragic. But I think Morey will go for it for Dragic for anything else. I can see him trading a package like Kpap, TJ, NOP pick, our first round pick (the year after Lin's pick) for just probably a 6 months of Dragic rental. I think he will go for it. I believe he just doesn't like Rondo, whom can actually be have for a much lesser price.
