Ronnie Brewer To Memphis!
I’m just as surprised with this move as Ronnie Brewer is in this photo. The Memphis Grizzlies will trade a first rounder to the Utah Jazz for swingman Ronnie Brewer. From an offensive standpoint Brewer won’t do much with the Grizzles especially since Mayo, Gay and now Brewer all play the 2/3 combo guard position. Brewer is more known for his defense and is averaging over 1.5 steals per game for his career.
You have to believe defensive reasons are why the Grizzlies were late players for Brewer. The Grizzlies are fighting for the 8th seed and Ronnie Brewer should be a nice boost off the bench for this squad to hopefully jumpstart the Grizzlies again.
Grade for the Jazz: B-. This now opens up the opportunity for Wesley Matthews to perform.
Grade for the Grizzlies: B+. They definitely upgraded on defense, that’s fo’ sho’.

The Kings on the other hand are making more big time moves today. They acquired Dominic McGuire from the Wizards for a future second round pick and cash. WOWZERS!
1 – Combo guard is combination of both guard positions, meaning 1/2, not 2/3
2 – Rudy Gay is 6’8 and does not play combo guard, or the 2, or any combination thereof.
3 – Grizz won last night, so they are not “currently on a 5-game losting streak”
4 – The Girzz were in need of a bench player and they got one that can score and play defense and gave up a protected 2011 draft pick. How is that B- for the Grizz.
5 – The Jazz gave up a valuable bench contributor and sometimes starter and got 2 boxes of crackerjack and 4 jolly ranchers in return. Were you inbred in Salt Lake City? B+?
1. Combo guard reference was something only the NBAtoday.net staff would understand (it wasn’t a literal reference).
2. Rudy Gay does play the 2 guard at times.
3. I was unaware, didn’t look at any scores, thanks for the update.
4. I wrote a (-) and (+) for the wrong squads, again thanks for point that out I corrected it.
5. Refer to point #4.
Phewy! Thank goodness for Huey!
Somebody just got JACKED UP!
