In a surprise move, the New York Knicks and recently acquired swingman Corey Brewer have completed a buyout that will allow Brewer to become a free agent and sign with any team he wishes. Where will Corey Brewer end up? My money would be on the Boston Celtics. Other teams reportedly interested include the Dallas Mavericks, Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs.
Why Corey Brewer to the Celtics? Boston is desperate for swingman depth. While they recently traded for Jeff Green, he’s more of a power forward than a legit small forward. Brewer, on the other hand, can play both small forward and shooting guard. Plus he brings the defensive intensity required in the Celtics system.
Brewer was acquired by the Knicks from the Minnesota Timberwolves, where the 24-year-old averaged 8.6 points and 2.7 rebounds per game in 24.3 minutes. He struggled with his shooting — hitting only 38.4% of his shots from the field and 26.3% of his three-pointers — which might have led the Knicks to attempt a contract buyout.
