Easy to throw out crap statements on the internet about how stupid the Jazz are for considering Ronnier Brewer. It is a NO BRAINER to consider him. However it is a different thing to SIGN him, becuase that is correlated to the contract he recieves.
Last year there were debates that he is worth $5-7M/year which he'd not worth. Now if he comes back you have to weigh this against other options and their price range. Ben10 put some relevance in the conversation saying: "$3M for RB vs 0.42M for Jeffers... " I think that is too much for brewer but would like him more if price were lower (obviously so would more people.)
However, it is also about what is the forward view. If Boozer were back and we had just signed a center and thought we were contending, then Brewer - at a reasonable price - would be perfect to have in a supporting role - he knows the system, he's a team-oriented guy, so he'd fit in with 0 risk. But, the Jazz are not in a near-contention mode and should probably take a risk on someone else or go for different position with any extra money at this point. The risk is to simply to test drive another option... Brewer is a known entity. Also, becuase there are 4 wings today (assuming wes is re-signed) (and price is a 5th wing in a pinch.) I would re-sign a Jeffers (or equivelant) and save the money for other positions - bigger, longer, etc.
