Knicks trade Brewer to Thunder

The New York Knicks decided to stand pat with their current roster on the trade deadline but made one minor move with the team. The Knicks have traded Ronnie Brewer to the Oklahoma City Thunder for a future second-round draft pick.

Brewer began the year in the starting lineup and played very well in his first month with the Knicks. In the month of November, Brewer averaged seven points and 3.5 rebounds in 22.7 minutes per while playing solid defense. He also shot a solid 46.1 percent from the field and was seen as one of the best veteran minimum's pick up from the off season.

However, his offensive game vanished as well as his minutes. His shooting percentage decreased to 28.1 percent and his playing role dwindled by the week. Brewer is averaging 3.6 points and 2.2 rebounds this season.

Moving Brewer opens up a roster spot and give them a chance to sign Kenyon Martin if Rasheed Wallace or Marcus Camby do not return from their injuries this season.
