Brewer would be good. He can relieve Ariza from all those minutes, and the Rockets have seemed to have a man crush on C Brew for a long time. Thanks for the info Cyberx, you're the best (even if it doesn't pan out!!)
I certainly don't love Brewer, and much prefer K-Pap, but to a certain extent he makes K-Pap, who I'm sure a lot of teams have interest in as a valuable asset, expendable. Opens up greater trade possibilities come February, IMO.
What I hate about this stuff is that by then we'll all like Brewer and it will sting when he's flipped! LOL
I'm pretty sure Brewer is done when we want it to be done. IOW, Morey is trying to synergize Brewer's acquisition with something bigger. And it's probably Goran. We may be able to pull Goran and Brewer and still have all the TPE left.
So is Papa's injury delaying everything. Don't see a point in getting Brewer to back up Ariza when we have Papa
So if we can't get Dragic by Friday, then we'll get Brewer. Then we'll try again at the deadline to get Dragic, and we'll have Brewer to include in any potential deal. That's how I'm reading the situation. Morey is turning the TE exception into a player that we can use for 2 months before flipping him at the Feb deadline.
