Corey Brewer is apparently joining the Mavs. sports.espn.go.com/dallas/nba/news/story?id=6175289Free-agent swingman Corey Brewer is closing in on a deal with the Dallas Mavericks, according to sources briefed on the discussions. Brewer was pursued by several teams after negotiating his release Monday from the New York Knicks, but sources said that the Mavericks have offered a multiyear deal to Brewer that starts in the $2 million range. Two sources said that the deal, barring an unexpected late snag, was on course to be agreed to in principle later Wednesday. But Brewer can't actually sign with the Mavericks until he clears waivers. Brewer was taken No. 7 overall in the 2007 draft by Minnesota and bought out earlier this week by the Knicks. He's expected to land a three-year deal worth between $7 million and $8 million with the Mavericks and will join the recently signed Peja Stojakovic to fill the void created by the loss of Caron Butler, who suffered a season-ending knee injury on Jan. 1. The Mavs, still possessing all of their midlevel exception from last summer, had the ability to outspend their longtime rivals in San Antonio as well as the Boston Celtics, who along with the Spurs made hard pitches to Brewer in hopes of landing the defensive specialist. Brewer will instantly become Dallas' best perimeter defender and close up a hole that the Mavericks were unable to fill before last week's trading deadline, when the Detroit Pistons resisted the last in a weeks-long series of attempts by Mavs owner Mark Cuban and team president Donnie Nelson to acquire Tayshaun Prince. With Stojakovic's shooting, Brewer's length and defensive skills and the recent return to the lineup of explosive scoring guard Roddy Beaubois, Dallas wants to believe that it has replaced Butler about as thoroughly as it could. Butler, meanwhile, keeps insisting that he thinks he can make it back for the playoffs, although team officials continue to operate under the assumption that Butler can't get back in time. |

Count me as jealous, I was hoping the Spurs would pick him up although, with Parker out, we should probably go after Carlos Arroyo. |

It certainly gives the Mavs a chance to run him, Marion and Stevenson at guys like Manu, Kobe, and Durant in the playoffs.
....now if we can just teach him to shoot.....
maybe he'll be more motivated to put in extra time playing with a good team. He should score 10 a night just off Kidd feeding him dunks.

I heard Caron is opimistic in his rehab. He said that he would like to be ready for the first round.

Yeah, he seems pretty set that he'll be ready. I think the Mavs are taking the approach that he won't so they are not depending on him. If he is, that is just that much better for us.
Maybe we'll make a deep run so he doesn't have to be ready for the first round.....
