Brewer said his decision to come to Dallas was based on a desire to win. The seventh overall pick in the 2007 draft had about a dozen teams pursue him after receiving a buyout from the Knicks this week. It's no coincidence that the final three teams he considered (Mavs, Spurs and Celtics) are all legitimate contender. After winning two NCAA titles at Florida, it was tough for Brewer to spend the first three and a half seasons of his NBA career on the bottom of the West standings with the Timberwolves. "You always want to be a winner," Brewer said. "Once you taste winning, you want to keep winning. I haven’t won since I got in the NBA. I’m happy to be on a winner." ESPN.com

The injury forced Terry to miss five games, and he wore a protective mask when he returned to the lineup. Brewer, oddly enough, is in the process of finalizing a deal to sign with the Mavs today. Terry, meanwhile, said he's more than willing to let by-gones be gone. "He didn’t do it intentionally,'' Terry said, "so it's all good.'' Someone asked Terry after Thursday's practice if he'll bring out the mask in practice. "I don’t even joke about that, man, just because the last two years I’ve been injured at the end of the season,'' Terry said. "So I’m just trying to stay healthy this year, and hopefully everybody can stay healthy so we can get through it.'' Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Ainge said he had interest in Brewer, a 24-year-old swingman who was the No. 7 pick in the 2007 draft, but didn’t have the money to lure him in. Brewer signed a three-year deal worth between $7 million and $8 million. “We had interest in Corey,’’ Ainge said. “We had a conversation with him. Dallas is a good team, too.’’ Boston Globe

Noah was surprised the Knicks bought out Brewer, who won two national championships with Noah at Florida in 2006 and 2007. "It's very shocking to me, because I think that Corey's definitely somebody that can bring a lot to this league," Noah said. "Just with his defensive presence, his defensive energy, and I was happy for him to go to New York because I felt like it was a good situation for him, but obviously, they didn't feel the same way. "I think Corey's going to be somebody who, when he's put in the right situation, is going to really blossom in this league. Obviously, it didn't work out for him in Minnesota, and I'm happy that he's going to get a fresh start somewhere else." ESPN.com

Free-agent-to-be Corey Brewer -- armmed with financial packages from the Boston Celtics, San Antonio Spurs and Mavericks -- is close to signing a contract with the Mavs. Dallas, according to a source, is expected to give Brewer a three-year contract in excess of $7 million once he clears waivers Thursday. At 6-9, Brewer is a heady defender who has the ability to defend high-scoring small forwards or shooting guards. That would give the Mavs some comfort at a position -- small forward -- which has been a source of concern ever since Caron Butler suffered a season-ending knee injury on New Year's Day.

The Mavericks are deep in the red zone toward signing recently waived Corey Brewer and may be able to punch it in before the day is done. A couple of NBA sources said the negotiations are ongoing and nothing is set yet. However, the Mavericks are believed to be the frontrunner to acquire the slender, 6-9 Brewer, who put together a solid season with Minnesota last year, but saw his production tail off somewhat this season before he was part of the mega-trade that sent Carmelo Anthony to New York. The Knicks got Brewer in the deal and reached a settlement on the rest of his contract. Dallas Morning News

It shouldn’t surprise you to hear that Boston is pushing as hard for Brewer as anyone, given that the Celts tried to trade for Brewer before Minnesota sent him to New York as part of the three-way Carmelo Anthony deal. Celtics president Danny Ainge and coach Doc Rivers are said to be Brewer fans and personally lobbying him. Hard. ESPN.com

But Boston and San Antonio, in this case, can’t compete financially with the Dallas Mavericks, who have their full mid-level exception remaining -- worth just under $4 million as of Wednesday because the figure is reduced daily from its original $5.8 million at this juncture of the season -- to comfortably exceed any offer the Celtics or Spurs could make. The Celts actually have the least to pitch financially of the three teams, sitting more than $5 million over the luxury-tax threshold and limited to offering a pro-rated share of the league minimum just as they gave Murphy. With the Spurs only about $1 million away from the tax line and likewise only possessing cap exceptions worth $1.5 and $1.2 million, respectively, Dallas would appear to have a clear bidding advantage over their neighbors from the NBA elite, fitting as it might be to see Brewer wind up with the Spurs given the frequent comparisons linking Brewer to Bruce Bowen.

Reported to have spoken with swingman Corey Brewer after Brewer negotiated a buyout of his contract with the Knicks, Popovich said he doubted the Spurs would land a player who would figure in his regular playing rotation. “We’re watching the wire and all the names to see if there is anyone who can fit,” he said after the team’s morning practice at FedEx Forum, adding he doubted there would be anyone who would play in front of the players the Spurs have. “With that in mind, one has to wonder what the wisdom there is (in adding someone).” San Antonio Express-News

Sources say Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, like Rivers, has been lobbying Brewer to try to seal a deal. There’s a decent chance that Sasha Pavlovic, who earlier this season completed two 10-day contracts with Dallas, will return to the Mavs if they don’t get Brewer ... and possibly land with Boston if the Mavs do.
