Knicks · Say goodbye to Corey Brewer (page 3)

I think he might try and get on with the Bulls or Warriors

dont think we ever said hello.

this buy out adds more curiosity to the trade.

Here it is....Brewer or Mason Jr was never going to get any playing time anyway.

Due to the lack of playing time, which player would become more of a locker room cancer?

It appears Mason Jr has the right attitude, and he still has one definite skill...He can shoot, plus he has championship / playoff experience...He may be more or just as valuable as Brewer, when it comes time for trades...Mason Jr can play for any team, without interrupting the teams culture.

I can't say the same for Brewer....

But I'm will the majority....I thought he was fairly young with good potential....And a much improved jumper!

Couldn't agree more. makes no sense to me either

Guess who is Corey Brewer's agent? Happy Walters.

Seems like Walsh did a solid for Amare's agent so his client could get a decent deal this summer.

Buke was actually 1st up to get waived....But he turned down the buy out, according to this article I read. So I guess Brewer was next up in line....

At this point, nobody can argue with Walsh so far....He's doing a great job. Plus, theres no need to cry over the 15th roster spot....

No announcement on Corey Brewer FYI. Azubuike was only player waived. Clearly didn't show enough in practice to prove he could contribute. 5 minutes ago via TweetDeck

Wonder if Brewer is still a Knick or if we are signing another player with Jeffries.

This Waiver Period is exciting! Is like a poor man's Free Agency!

Azu waived. This makes sense. Will we waive another player so we can sign Jeffries + a center?

I can't figure this all out, but I trust Donnie will handle this in as good a way as possible.

too bad with buike, I kinda had hopes for him to return, but not today I guess.

Say hello to Corey Brewer?
simrud @ 2/28/2011 8:37 PM
So he is not waived?
Knicksfan @ 2/28/2011 8:39 PM
Looks like we waived both:

AlexKennedyNBA NYK can now sign Jeffries and one other player such as Dan Gadzuric, T.J. Ford, Leon Powe, Rasual Butler or Earl Barron if Bucks let him go.

So after signing Jeffries, who will be the mystery signing #2?

VDesai @ 2/28/2011 9:03 PM
Still not clear....Brewer still here? not here? I don't think it makes a lot of sense to waive both unless we can get Murphy.
Knicksfan @ 2/28/2011 9:04 PM
TommyDeeTKB: earl Barron plucked by Bucks...names in the Knicks mix for bigs include ex-Buck dan gadzuric and D-Leaguer Vernon Goodridge

via Alex Kennedy - Source close to Brewer says that he will still be bought out by Knicks. "Azuibuike is being waived IN ADDITION to Brewer," said the source.

Who is Alex Kennedy? He's an 18 year old kid or something that writes for hoopsworld.com, which never gets anything right. From what it sounds like the Brewer buyout is not done.

Celtics probably would not have traded Perkins if this deal went through since they used him to get a wing player, so this was a good move by the Knicks (whether intentional or not)

Who cares! We get... Jeffries... And keep... Mason and Buike... Yay..?

Juice @ 2/28/2011 11:13 PM
So teams didn't value Buike's insurance savings?

MDA couldn't guarantee him playing time, now he is shutting down Kobe in the second round.

“He’s going to be ready to play and I won’t hesitate to use him,” Dallas Coach Rick Carlisle said before Game 2 of the series Wednesday night. “He’s kept himself ready. He’s played a lot of big games in his life because of the two championship runs in college. He loves this kind of situation. I don’t know what the minutes will be, but I know he can help us.”

He can help a better team than us, but MDA couldn't guarantee him minutes.

Good thing defense isn't important.
