Grizzlies Like Brewer?

The Grizzlies just might have some interest in Ronnie Brewer.

Memphis is not willing to part with its own 2010 pick. The Griz have made available their late first-round selections (via Denver and the Los Angeles Lakers) for the right deal. The Jazz may also be seeking a 2011 pick.

The move, if it goes down like that, would be an obvious salary dump for the Jazz. It would help the Jazz save some salary, and also potentially cut the issues the Jazz have at the wing spots... at least in regards to playing time. Play-wise, Brewer is probably a better option than CJ Miles (inconsistency) & Korver (injury issues), and while he isn't a long ball threat (Matthews) he seems to fit the Jazz offense well.

So... do the Jazz stick with that? Or would they prefer a 2-guard with a jumper? Because if they prefer the jumper, Brewer is pretty much expendable. Personally, I try to trade CJ instead. If that's a no-go though, I seriously consider this... provided the Jazz have another trade that they can pull off to get a more 'complete' 2-guard.

Just Brewer for a pick (picks?) though doesn't seem worth it... Brewer is further along than any rookie you'll get in the draft (especially with the low pick you'll probably end up with from Denver/LAL). Plus, given how little the Jazz play youngsters (Morris Almond anyone?), giving up Brewer seems dumb if you're not upgrading in some way with a (relative) veteran.

Part of a Bigger Plan?
written by 110%, January 22, 2010
Is it possible that this trade is the beginning of a bigger mix-up? I think the Jazz could very well be clearing a spot up on their roster rather than just saving a few bucks on salaries.

Remember before the season when there were so many rumors flying about a potential Boozer for Rip Hamilton trade? The Pistons are stacked with wing players after their acquiring Ben Gordon and have Charlie Villenueva (a career 3) playing the 4. They also just went on a 13 game losing streak. If you think the Pistons are happy with the way things are going, you're crazy. Boozer still makes more sense in Detroit than any other team out there and with Ronnie B gone we have a hole to fill. We could fill it with one of our mediocre wings (of which we have many), or we could go out and get a real weapon at the 2. We then can get our money out of Millsap and have more playing time for AK at the 4.

I'm not an advocate of this plan. I happen to be one of Boozer's Buddies again, but I would not be the least bit surprised to see it happen.
