If we win it all, I think Brewer will be back. He likes NY and likes the team. He'll come back for a JR-esque discount I think.
That would be awesome. One of my favorite players.
I hope so . He fits so well and is one of our only slashers.
he took less money to be here. im sure he could have at least 3-4 million somewhere else

He didn't take less money, nobody offered him a contract more than the 1-year minimum.

Fables. The belief a man turned down 2-3 million dollars to play in NY.
I doubt it. Shumpert is younger and more explosive at this point.
Brewer will get a Fields type deal if he keeps up his shooting.
Brewer is a goner for sure. He gives you what Fields was supposed to give you..
Personally, I'm not as impressed as the rest of you. If he goes, he goes. We'll find another glue guy.

Then we need to match that offer for Brewer.

We won't be able to, he's an unrestricted free agent after the season. The most we'd be able to offer is the taxpayer MLE which is around $3M/year.

I did not realize that. That sucks.
Not worried about Brewer leaving, after all he came here literally for free.

I could see Brewer doing 10 million for 3 years.

If thats the case then the Knicks have a shot. I don't see him getting more than $3-4 elsewhere
Why would the Knicks pay him more than the minimum when we have Shumpert?
Healthy Shumpert equals no use for Brewer.

So could I. I could also see another team offering a contract starting at around $4M/year to price us out of the market.
yea something like 3yrs for $12-15mil. Can't see knicks matching that when they have Shump

Because Brewer can guard threes allowing Shump to guard the quicker pgs or Sgs. He struggled against size i.e. Paul Peirce, Lebron(given), and Joe Johnson. Also, we still have not seen a healthy Brewer yet.

You nailed it. Can't say Knicks don't need Brewer because they have Shump. 2 different defenders. Shump uses quickness. Great against the Drose/westbrook/hardens of the league. Brewer is more physical and our best bet in guarding Lebron. Something Shump,Melo, JR, Novak can't do
