According to multiple reports, the Thunder are acquiring guard/forward Ronnie Brewer from the Knicks. Per Ken Berger of CBSSports.com, OKC’s sending a second-round pick in exchange for Brewer.
Brewer is a 6-foot-7, 225-pound swingman that’s known for strong defense and his offensive slashing and cutting. He’s played with the Jazz, Grizzlies, Bulls and Knicks in his seven-year career.
“We are pleased to bring in a defensive-minded player like Ronnie, a high-character person who has played for coaches and programs throughout his career that we have a great deal of respect for,” Sam Presti said in release. “He is a versatile defender with playoff experience that will add depth to our wing positions.”
Brewer, 27, is averaging 3.6 points and 2.2 rebounds in 46 appearances for New York this season.
Just looked at DraftExpress's mock draft and they have OKC taking Anthony Bennet.. What do y'all think of him?

Wow!! Brewer with only 14 turnovers on the season in over 700 minutes played.
Thunder will have to work on him in this area for sure, those numbers won't work in Okc.
@Skyline definitely needs to work on recklessness
Does he ever touch the ball though?@Skyline
Brewer was heavily recruited by OSU before going to ARK...affiliation?
@BallSoHard Nah
@Lost Ones so serious lost ones
Knicks sign Kenyon Martin to a 10-day deal.
@S4TISF4CTION yes not the heat.
@OohWeeItsVelvetHoop Thank you for saying this. Any Big that makes it to the Heat is a scary situation.
@S4TISF4CTION yyyeaaaaaaa
in presti we trust.
hmm i have a feeling though that this is the kinda trade that most of you are banging your head on the desk saying WHY WHY WHY, but could end up helping us out down the line.
From what ive seen hes pretty good at Defense, good at steals, not so much offensively but seems to move with out the ball and finishes at the rim.
@Legendary_Dork we needed defenders and lrebounders we got a defender.
@Lost Ones @Legendary_Dork this season he had 70 rebounds total but only 14 turnovers
@tydude @Legendary_Dork he's rarely played and he has 100
@tydude @Lost Ones @Legendary_Dork who does? brewer has a 100 rebs this year
perhaps he can teach Pj3 some tricks too? or lamb?
Why didnt we sign brewer in the off-season?
@Lost Ones he might not of been available then, plus a defensive players can be inserted right now.
@Legendary_Dork I swear he was
Brewer could help defensively. Don't really know about anything else, but maybe he could help on D.
@Aren't good slasher and a knock down shooter when open
Does anyone hit the cloud off to the left? I do all the time and it pisses me off!!
@CLthunderfan THANK YOU! I brought this up when he rolled it out the other day. That's right where I leave my mouse while reading. So annoying.
@CLthunderfan no, I have hand-eye coordination
@fuzzyty @CLthunderfan welcome :), are you fezzy's brother ?
@fuzzyty don't worry, what's in the dark must come to light my friend ;)
@Cold-Blooded sure, why not. I have no idea who that is.
@CLthunderfan its better to be pissed of than pissed on
@Cold-Blooded just ask r kelly
@f5alcon but, he loves it. Calling that man a freak os not doing him justice
KD's brother Tony has nothing on D-Rose's brother Reggie.
SportsCenter @SportsCenter
Derrick Rose's brother says Bulls' inactivity at deadline will be "big factor" in whether he returns this season » http://es.pn/VzcPjm
@Skyline @SportsCenter and why should he
Royce young-note: brewer's contract expires this summer. He's making $854,389 this season!. . . . .got him for da lo. :)
Matt Barnes and Shane Battier have played some PF for their teams. Would it be crazy to put Brewer there in the 2nd unit?
Obviously any small lineup with KD on the floor should have KD at the PF.
@OBoy Our bigs don't rebound well enough to do this often.
@[censored] @OBoy Don't rebound well and don't protect the rim.
@OBoy No it would not for small doses.
@OBoy it could work
not sure if anyone posted this, if so im sorry :P
kd tweeted out
"Got damn I hate seeing brothers leave the team! I wish @EMaynor3the best, I'm gonna miss him and his family!!"
and then "Welcome @RonnieBrewerJr to loud city!! Yessir"

@Fezzy @Legendary_Dork sullinger avoided
@PKBOB @Fezzy apparently he was watching the new die hard movie and was told he was being traded
TurnerSportsPR @NBATV will televise Dr. Jerry Buss’ funeral service today at 6p ET 2/21/13 4:05 PM
Uh oh, Rose's brother/manager is running his mouth about the bulls
can we sign D-Fish to be our Backup PG
Rockets easily got the best of the trades as of late. Getting the Kings #5 pick for almost nothing.
@Skyline and got rid of cole garbage ass
