Great news getting Brewer back on the team. Still need to fill the positions that have PF and PG. I hope everything falls into place for the team.
This might be a great sign of things to come. Brewer and Dekker at SF. We have good depth at SF. I think Ariza is trade bait. It may not be LMA but Morey always surprises with his skill at trades.
I could see Ariza or Brewer being packaged in a trade now. Why else pay a guy so much while playing MINIMAL minutes backing up Ariza?
And just to put things in perspective, he's getting paid more than what Beverley's new contract is gonna give him.
why do you think this is too much? brewer is by far a player that is tailor made for our system. he runs, he can finish, he is a spark. also wasn't he top 5 in steals last season? this is a great deal and will look even better once the cap rises.
Because he just doesn't get enough MINUTES to justify that money. Don't get me wrong I love brewer, but as a backup who is very inconsistent shooting the ball...it's hard for me to accept him getting paid more than Beverley.
I have to agree with this. The drafting of Dekker along with the resigning of Brewer makes a trade of Ariza or Brewer possible.
It's a solid deal. It isn't over paying and if we lost him for nothing then the Rockets would be worse. He adds continuity and depth.
my apologies. brewer was top 5 when we acquired him. aron baynes got a deal for 3 yr-20 mil, other players are getting deals that are significantly higher than previous due to the new cap raise... a player like brewer is hard to come by. we saw the effectiveness of having him because ariza was able to get rest and later get his shot back. there is much more value to him than the numbers say. a trade of brewer/ariza is also not out of the question. there were games in which harden was tired, spent and brewer immediately gave us energy off the bench. our bench saved our asses this season, and if we let him go, who do we replace his type of production with?? beverley getting paid that much indicates to me (if we do keep him and not do an S&T) that we can still acquire a starting level PG
So just because guys are getting overpaid left and right, because of a very shallow free agent pool and a teams desperation, we should join along? No. We are championship contenders. We are not the Knicks. And just because the cap will be rising does not mean EVERY player in the NBA should get paid more.
who says this is overpaying? this is the new standard. the cap rise was not agreed upon for ****s and giggles, it is so that players can get paid more!
