You can't compare Brewer's D with Landry's D though. We all saw how Fields got torched by Ray Allen in the playoffs and how he would let scrubs light us up. Brewer can guard BOTH SG's and SF's, which we needed with only two unproven players in White/Copeland backing up Melo. Felton/Kidd/Prigioni is way better than what we had at PG last season so it should be easier for everyone to score, even Brewer. Brewer's defense makes up for his offense.
^^^^ this rep, the defense does make up for the offense. Defense wins ball games, Brewer for vet min is pretty much a steal.. who do we currently have thats a lock down defender? Chandler but he's a Center, Shump is out until January the latest this is a good pickup.

Delfino and Foye were Pipe Dreams for the vet min

All great teams have a lock down defender on their roster.

Heat- Battier
Lakers- Artest
Thunder- Sefolosha
Grizzlies- Tony Allen
Nyets - Wallace
Boston - Bradley

and the list goes on

This is good for Woodson's approach. Brewer is another smart defender we have for those close game situations.

Although he isn't the best shooter, its ok because we have Kidd, Felton, JR, Novak, Melo and Copeland. These are all capable shooters.

just to show we aint missing anything from last year

fields : 7.2points/3.0 rebs (20 mill)

brewer:6.9 points/3.5 rebs + D (1.5 Mill i think)

both cant shoot 3's ... sorry raptors...

yep he is comparable to Fields but his ability to play D will likely earn him minutes under Woodson. Its a good pickup. I can definitely see the Knicks being a team other teams hate playing. Especially in the Garden.

Getting the likes of Rashard Lewis for the min like Riley did in Miami might be called genius. Getting a lockdown defender that shoots 20% from 3 and 50% FT for the min is smart but not brilliant.
He went there because of Ray Allen not Riley, also he's getting paid A SH*T LOAD. The Vet min is just to be on the Heat, the Hornets are still paying his 19 mil or whatever

Ronnie Brewer was the last remaining free-agent shooting guard represented by CAA, by the way.

Yeah I read this on posting and toasting and while brewer is still a damn good pickup (he is like Landry Fields for was less money and he plays defense) this CAA connection is still worth mentioning..... Hopefully this isn't some part of a trade or some bullsh*t.

We still need someone to back up STAT. Our PF position is crazy thin. Unless they plan to play camby at the 4 as well. All we have is Stat and that new dude. Copelson or whatever his name is

The deal had to be done after seeing James White in the summer league. Let's hope both Brewer and White and have a productive season.

when the Griz acquired Brewski from Utah in mid-season 2010, he was coming off one of his best years:

"Ronnie Brewer is a proven, winning basketball player in the NBA," ... "He has been a starter for a perennial playoff team in Utah and has had the benefit of playing for one of the all-time great coaches in Jerry Sloan. Ronnie is an intelligent, versatile player who is an excellent ball handler and defender. We are excited to acquire this outstanding, former Arkansas Razorback." Brewer, a 6-7, 227-pound swingman, has averaged 9.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.61 steals on 49.5 percent shooting in 31.4 minutes in 53 games (all starts) this season in Utah. The 24-year-old posted career highs in points (13.7) and rebounds (3.7) last season, while ranking first in the NBA in steals-per-turnover ratio (1.87) and seventh in field goal percentage (.558). He also leads the league in steals-per-turnover ratio this season (1.67). The four-year NBA veteran (2006-10) owns career averages of 10.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.46 steals on 52.3 percent shooting in 26.4 minutes in 266 career games (223 starts) with the Jazz, who selected him with the 14th overall pick in the 2006 NBA Draft. He was also selected to play in the 2008 T-Mobile Rookie Challenge at All-Star Weekend in New Orleans, where he scored 13 points for the Sophomore team. Noted for his defensive abilities, Brewer has ranked in the NBA's Top 10 in total steals in each of the last two seasons, placing sixth in 2008-09 (138) and 10th in 2007-08 (129). This season, Brewer is tied for 12th in the league in total steals (85) with the Los Angeles Lakers' Kobe Bryant and the Charlotte Bobcats' Raymond Felton and 13th in steals per game.

"Ronnie adds depth and defensive presence on the perimeter..."

he won't be chucking shots, he'll be fighting down low on the offense and laying down the law on Dee.
I always liked Brewer's game, he's the ultimate scrappy player who always seemed to get the
offensive rebound, and the ball would gravitate towards him, ala David Lee.

sounds like a New York Knickerbocker to me. great pickup.
:beer: happy brews
