Utah Jazz record since Ronnie Brewer trade

Utah Jazz record after trading Ronnie Brewer

// April 22nd, 2010 // Trades

The Jazz traded Ronnie Brewer to the Memphis Grizzlies on February 28, 2010. Many people felt that trading Brewer was a sign that the Jazz management was ceding defeat barely halfway through the season. Or else why trade our starting shooting guard?

With wings such as CJ Miles and Wesley Matthews filling in the Jazz went 21 – 10 in the regular season since Brewer was traded…which is pretty respectable after trading a 3 year starter.

I think that record would have been more like 24-7 had Andrei Kirilenko not gone down with a calf injury with about 20 games left in the season.

Regardless, the Jazz didn’t become a worse team by trading Brewer as I’ve already outlined here. The difference in the end of the season was losing Kirilenko who was posting his best regular season in a few years.
