Source: Utah is Negotiating with Brewer

[gregbroncs]

Brewer is a good defender. Maybe Matthews is a bit better, but Brew is solid.

No he's not. Brewer was a terrible defender who only went for steals. He gambled far to often and did not guard his own man. He's acted afraid to put a body on anybody and could not keep guys from going right at him or around him. Don't let the steals stat fool you. Because it's all he had defensively.

The irony of this situation is Wes may have been a better alternative to Brewer when Brewer had the 3.2 million dollar QO and was (uninjured) heading into his RFA year. The thought was Wes could probably give us similar production with a different skillset for far less money. Now Wes is the guy who has the outrageous contract, but Brewer is suddenly not even worth half what he is, or is even half the player. More than that, it's like Brewer should have to pay his own money to play in the NBA.

Isn't it ironic, dontcha think?

Matt Barnes opted out to try and get a big contract or go to another contender

Matt Barnes has opted out 3 different times now trying to get a big contract. History proves he won't get the deal he wants.

We are in a good position to get him if we let Matthews go.
