    Awww man I wanted Charlotte's closer to the lottery pick but I'll take assets over nothing and Brewer is an upgrade defensively

    Houston currently has the 4th best record in the league. We basically got a 2nd rounder.

    Also not in love with Brewer. Gets a "meh" from me with so many bidders, but we also have no idea what teams were offering, sooooo yeah...

    Would have rather gone to a worse team like the Hornets for a better pick.
    Also would have preferred KJ McDaniels than Brewer. McDaniels is dying to get out of Houston. Could of had a role in LA

    Anyone got a scouting report on Brewer? My somewhat limited knowledge of him is he's not bringing much to the table on offense besides an occasional spot-up corner 3, and he's a long lengthy defender who's above average on that end.

    Am I wrong on any of that? Can anyone expound?

    The Rockets didn't want to lose McDaniels. It's why they traded us Brewer.

    Maybe they parlay that 1st and package it with another trade?

    Magic doing work.

    I'm happy to get a 1st + a decent bench player to back up BI.

    Thanks for the memories Sweet Lou!

    That's the dream right there. Or of course including it in a deal to go get an impact player.

    He's going to make about 7.5 million next season then expire in the summer of 2018. He's a decent sized expiring contract for us.

    It will help the tank, but other than that a pretty uninspired deal.

    We could end up with a Tony Parker or we could end up with a David Rivers with that pick.
