Rockets interested in Corey Brewer

No but I'd throw in lots of 2nd round picks and DMo, Nick Johnson, etc.

 

Never. That NOP pick is the key to landing our third star

 

yes without a doubt but they're not gonna give up dieng

 

I appreciate the added depth, but front court depth is needed much more than on the wings.

 

Dieng is good. Yeah, throw in the NOP pick. Because if we sink, no 3rd star is going to come here.

 

The will probably take Capela rather then DMO along with a pick.

 

If I were Flip, I'd move Pek before I'd move Dieng, tbh.

 

If Brewer is available, I wonder if Thaddeus Young is.

 

I agree. I think Flip would want to go younger if anything. Deing is a solid young piece.

 

He's gotta be, right? Thad is a UFA at the end of the season thru his PO that he will not pick up. They're gonna have to move him.

Do we have the space to trade T-Jones, NOP pick and more to get Brewer and Young?

 

Brewer can slide into the Lin TPE, but you'll have to trade either K Pap/Terry + Jones or D-mo

screw getting 3rd star, they are all set with longterm contracts for next season except durant. This team needs a big and Deing is perfect for the position.

 

will have to be two seperate trades cause players /picks cant be added to a trade exception.

 

I thought picks could be included. The only restriction is not being able to add any additional salary with it. Could be wrong.

 

You're right.

 

He did pretty well against us last year iirc

 

No thanks. Brewer can't shoot.... 3's or FTs

And how will acquiring him effect our getting Dragic or someone else in the offseason? No, thanks

What a disgrace to allow this guy to score 50 against us.

 

One thing Corey Brewer does is get to the rim and finish there at a good rate. He is not a dribble penetration guy but makes smart cuts and runs the floor on the break like a mad man.

The Rockets have plenty of long distance shooters but lack a guy who does those "Corey Brewer things" since Chandler Parsons' departure. This year's team is playing at a significantly lower pace, shooting a lower % of their shots in the paint and shooting a lower FG% at the paint.

Brewer is not perfect but he may be what the team needs.
