Goodbye Booze, Hello To An Old Friend?

Not sure why they would need him. I guess if Korver is gone and you can get him on the cheep. But again. Why?
 
Why not?
He's a decent player. And he ain't gonna want $5M/per. Ronnie B. would be a good backup at the 2/3. I mean if the last wing spot comes down to Brewer or Jeffers. Isn't Ronnie B. at $2M-$3M a no-brainer? Especially as a good-faith gesture to Deron.
 
It well be a question to Miller. hmmmm $3 million or $420 thousand. Not that I disagree with you guys. I would take him back over Jeffers in a second. But would he get Jeffers like playing time?

Yea, for 2-3 million I would do it, but I'm scared Sloan will give him too important of a role.
 
Brewer is a good option, because we can assume CJ and Hayward cover the skill set of Korver. Maybe not to the same extent of being the GOAT, but they bring other facets like defense. And with AK presumably being the back up PF (or starter, wouldn't be surprised if Mansap got manbitched into his former role). Our swingman positions aren't at a log jam.
Brewer/Matthews at SG
CJ/Hayward (wee bit of AK) at SF

and our new SG seems swell too.
 
Yeah, I wouldn't be upset at it for a couple of million.

Not sure if Brewer feels jaded enough to not come back.

Plus he knows he basically lost the job to Matthews. That's why he got traded. He's a pure bench player if he returns to the Jazz. Not sure he'll be up to doing that.
 
Well he well be a pure bench player no matter were he goes. What kind of playing time was he getting in Memphis again?

Brewer lost the SG job to Matthews. I'd bet he starts at SF when he comes back.
 
Letting go of Boozer and then going after Brewer. Seems about a typical Jazz offseason. I am all excited. Especially if Brewer is going to be the replacement for Mathews or Korver for financial reasons.

Well, you have to hand it to KOC though. We saved a bunch of money, got first round pick, and get Brew back. Sounds pretty good to me. Does not make up for giving away Boozer, but not so bad in this circumstance.

Yeah you have got to be really excited about getting Brewer back. Opposing defenses will be losing sleep on how to guard him now.

I doubt that he would start at the SF spot over C.J. Miles. IMO, C.J. earned the starting SF spot with his play in the playoffs. However, the Jazz's previous logjam at the wing positions is now gone that with Booze going to Chicago. Andrei Kirilenko can move back over to his natural spot at PF and take over as the primary reserve. Millsap would become the starter at PF, obviously. This would open the door for Brewer to take over at one of the back up wing spots (Hayward would take the other one). Personally, I think that it would actually be a pretty good move. Hayward and Brewer would complement each other pretty well as a duo coming off the bench. Brewer is a slasher/defender while Hayward is an all-around player/shooter. If the Jazz are able to work out a sign and trade deal with Chicago for a trade exception, I want them to use that exception, Memo, and Fesenko in a trade to get a starting-quality center. Koufos is showing potential in the summer league. He could be in prime postion to earn consistent minutes while taking over as the back up C. I want this depth chart to start the season:

PG: Deron Williams, Ronnie Price, Sundiata Gaines
SG: Wesley Matthews, Ronnie Brewer (SF on offense), Othyus Jeffers
SF: C.J. Miles, Gordon Hayward (SG on offense)
PF: Paul Millsap, Andrei Kirilenko, Jeremy Evans (D-League)
C: New Starter, Kosta Koufos, ?
