He has no future with this team going forward. He has a 300% 2011 Cap Hit which comes to about $11.2mil compare that to Chandler's $6.5mil. The only thing he provides is 26gms worth of depth(maybe playoffs depth) that's it. He's a total misfit in this system. And he can only be traded by himself.

His cap hit is pretty irrelevant considering the Knicks are over the cap next year.

That said, it doesn't really matter. The Knicks can choose to renounce him if they like.

We can get under the cap if we trade Turiaf/Balkman/Douglas which we should think about. Especially if the cap reaches $60mil. Brewer is nothing but filler a miniscule temporary save face keep sake

You're saying the Knicks should get under the cap for 2011? Why?

The key now is to shuffle the role players around our big guys to make the team work.

I'd like to see if Corey Brewer fits here... he's got all-world athleticism and good skill-set and great defensive instints. I could see a guy like him thriving in the playoffs.

Why try to get under the cap heading into the lockout?

Makes sense to keep the assets we have heading into uncertain CBA territory.

He is a good defender and nice athlete, so like it has been mentioned he is a nice complmentay player to what we have. He might also shoot better if all his shots are going to be wide open, which they will be.

At the end of the day I don't know if he will beat out Walker for the backup SG minutes though since Walker has proven to be a reliable shooter.

I don't understand why people are complaining about deapth at the wings, with Melo, Fields, Williams and Walker I think we are very well stacked at 2/3.

Anyone else got this?? Confirmed yet?

Ken Berger from CBSsports has refuted that the Knicks got any picks from Minnesota... we shall see when it all shakes out tomorrow.

SI is reporting that we get a 2nd rounder from Minny, not a first.
