Believe me, I would have rather traded CJ. Since Brewer is a Restricted Free Agent Memphis now gets to have a "tryout" with Brewer and if it doesn't work out or he doesn't contribute they can let him leave and it didn't cost them that much. CJ has years left on his deal and Memphis wasn't willing to take on that kind of contract. Memphis didn’t want CJ Miles. Believe me, I would have rather traded CJ.

I was quite upset and sad to see Brewer was traded while not completely understanding why, but your article helped to clear it up. Thanks! Good luck Brewer!

Although I'll almost always take the odds that a 1st round pick will be better than a 2nd even if KOC has had some less than stellar 1st round picks and awesome 2nd rounders. I agree completely.

Two players make this trade possible: Wes Matthews and AK. Right now there's no reason to think Matthews won't be at least as good as Brewer in a couple years, and he'll be cheaper. And with Andrei playing at a level where he commands 30+ minutes a game, the Jazz are solid at the 3. I'd almost have been happier if this had been a second round pick, though, since I trust KOC's evaluation of 2nd round talent more than his ability to judge late 1st round talent.
