Grizzlies Add Brewer to the Bench

The Grizzlies made an under-the-radar deal at the wire getting swingman Ronnie Brewer from the Jazz right at the deadline for a draft pick. Interestingly, this deal might have made the biggest impact basketball-wise of all the trades made in the past few days.

Brewer is on an expiring deal, but will be a restricted free agent. That means Memphis will probably be able to resign him on the cheap if it chooses to. He is making a big impact on the Grizzlies – +1.5 wins over the rest of the season including a 10% boost in their playoff chances – because the bench has been so bad. Brewer will easily outplay the likes of Sam Young and DeMarre Carroll as the first wing off the bench. Great move for Memphis.
The Jazz dump salary, get another mid-first round pick, and open minutes for C.J. Miles, Kyle Korver, and Wes Matthews with very little change to their season projection.
