Source: Utah is Negotiating with Brewer

Holy hell. Just play Price then. He brings everything Brewer does to the game with more as well.

Price shoots better than Brewer, Defends better than Brewer, and can be used in the same role as Brewer at less cost. Hell the only advantage of Brewer over Price is a little bit of height. But with Prices jumping ability it's negligible. Price brings more to the table than Brewer. He plays with toughness, actually tries to guard his own man while also knowing when to double and attack passing lanes.

I don't love undersized player's at SG but I would rather Price as a backup SG to Brewer.

You've got to be kidding me. Not only is he severely undersized, but his career averages are 3.6 ppg on sub 40% shooting. In play-offs he shot 29% en route to 2.2 ppg. In contrast Brew scored 10.3 in his career on 52.3% shooting, and 7.7 ppg in play-offs on 49% shooting. How can you even suggest that Price is half a player Brewer is. Price is a 3d string PG, nothing more. Brew is at worst a very good back-up wing. And that's exactly what we need after Korver and Wes departure.
 
I think we're being unnecessarily harsh on Brewer. Yeah he wasn't an all star, but I think we really missed his finishing at the basket last year after the trade. And although I have a man-crush on Matthews, his production is not the difference between the Jazz contending next year, it's more likely the difference between the 6th seed or the 7th seed.

If anyone can look at the roster with Matthews vs. with Brewer and see a large difference in the win column, then you have overestimated Matthew's impact.
 
If we get Brew back at a good price, it is a great move. Not only did we save money last year, his value has clearly gone down given the injury and Memphis moving on. IMO, the primary reason for trading him was that his agent had an asking price that was way to high and we knew we were not going to pay that much so why not get a draft pick, particularly with Wes in the fold at the time. If Brew comes cheap, I am not sure they wouldn't resign Ronnie even if they are going to resign Wes.

Brewer is not a very good back-up wing. He would be a very good back up PF if he was 3 inches taller. But as a wing he is worthless. I stand by my statement. I would rather have Price as 3rd string SG than Brewer as the starter. And ****ing Sloan will start his sorry *** if he is here.

I mentioned Childress. With the TPE's that they have they could get any available wing in the league. Signing Brewer is lazy and cheap. I'm not the freaking GM but why work to get the TPE's and then just sign your trash from the previous year?

Actually Utah was interested in Childress, but Suns got him for 2012 2nd round pick (5 years 33 mil). So, he is off the board now.

We were a better team without Brewer. We did not miss him at all. In fact we would most likely have been a lower seed and 1st round exit if he was not traded.

Look, let's not be irrational here. I just showed to you how minuscule Price's career accomplishments are compared to Brewer. And with the size difference, let's at least agree Price sucks for wing back-up compared to Brew, and is a 3d string PG, and not mention him any more. As far as Sloan starting Brew if KOC gets him, you might have a point. With that said, isn't it GM's job to get coach the players the coach wants? It is obvious Sloan wants Brew more than even Wes (that was evidenced by Jerry giving more mins to Brew, by starting Brew over Wes, and only giving Wes 10 mins in a game prior Brew's departure). So, what's wrong with a GM giving his coach a player that the coach believes is better than alternatives for starting line-up?
 
Lol. Typical Jazz offseason. Screw the good free agents like Mike Miller, Al Jefferson, Al Harrington, and JJ Redick. Let's focus on re-signing a player that lost his job to a rookie and we traded for garbage.
