lol Oh I knew it was a long shot Morey could get a big proven PF so that was why it was my Xmas wish. I am OK with Brewer. Gives us much needed depth and some flexibility and stability on offense and he understands defense and should fit in that way here. He has already been playing good minutes this year so his conditioning should be OK. Definitely a win win all around.
He also helps us by adding another wing to the bench that makes it easier to go small with Pap playing the 4, or even Ariza in certain matchups.
I don't see how a guy who can't shoot a 3 will do much for us. We have Ariza and Papa. Seems to me we'd do better with a scorer to come off the bench.
lol I agree and on the defensive side it will be harder to get a mismatch for the other team. Sometimes I cringe when Harden is all of a sudden guarding a 4.

What's the alexey shved scouting report? It will all go to waste if a star pg like dragic can't create for these guys. Harden is overworked in the reg season.
