Corey Brewer Traded to Houston

[Los216]

It's fine to dream, but what motivation could the Wolves have to move Dieng in a Brewer deal? Neither the Cavs nor the Rockets are likely to give them near adequate compensation for a valuable, young-ish big like Dieng.

They're gonna have to trade him unless they can find somebody to take on Pek which is highly unlikely.

 

[Cavsfan161]

would be a great pickup

he's averaging 10 and 3 this year so far and he can defend.

 

[Cavsfan161]

The Cavs won't land him. He sure as hell isn't worth Thompson or Dion, and the Rockets probably have more to throw that way than the second round picks and TPE Griff is working with.

Houston have no real assets to throw at them

 

[Soar]

Always thought he would be in the Love deal in some way.

Separate trade or whatever.

I'd prefer a C, but Brewer would be solid.

He'd probably start with Marion going back to the bench if we landed him.

 

[Los216]

They only way I see us giving up more than the MEM pick would be if we got another team(Philly) involved to take on another one of our players.

We would NOT be using the Memphis pick. That is just silly talk. That pick is the asset that will eventually be paired with Haywood's 10 million dollar non-guaranteed contract next year. If they want the Memphis pick for Brewer, they can keep him.

 

[Stark]

If we could land Brewer and Turiaf for the TE and a few picks, then this roster is easily set for the rest of the season.

 

[Frank Stallone]

Either Tristan or Dion is gone imo. Not seeing what else we have to offer besides maybe the Memphis pick.

I would... punch a hole in the wall.

I disagree. Houston has 4 extra 2nds over the next 2 years. We don't have a 2nd until 2019, unless you think the Clippers pick will vest. We might have to throw Kirk in the deal. If Houston wants him, they'll get him.

Look at the protections on the MEM pick. It's reaching SAC status.

 

[Soar]

The TPE is 5.3 million. Maybe no centers equal or less than that amount are available for that. If that is the case, there is no harm in using that asset on Brewer.

 

[Scholar]

Look at the protections on the MEM pick. It's reaching SAC status. Right now I would say the 2015 Philly 2nd rounder is more valuable.

I think you need to take some time and review those protections. The Memphis pick, unlike the Sacramento one, becomes unrestricted in 2019. No second round pick is ever going to be more valuable. That is foolish talk.

 

[Los216]

Just looked at the salaries and Turiaf won't fit in the TPE with Brewer unless we can unload another contract.

Right. This is where the Cavs' having given up all those second round picks hurts. People kept saying second round picks don't matter because you can always buy them (which isn't always true, by the way). I couldn't care less about actually drafting someone with the picks, it's using them as future trade assets that I was concerned about. Oh well.

Meanwhile, Houston has managed to keep all its second rounders and has picked up a few more. Brewer isn't worth anything more than the TPE and a second rounder or two. I am not a Waiters fan and even I wouldn't trade him for Brewer (plus I doubt Minny would want him anyway).

Not only are second rounders not "assets," many GMs part with them because they see them as a salary waste.

Your argument is wholly flawed. A second rounder doesn't hold this deal up.
