The Knicks have signed unrestricted FA Ronnie Brewer to a one-year contract, a source tells David Aldridge. Brewer was known to be on Minnesota's radar after the T-Wolves missed out on Courtney Lee, but the swingman has instead decided to sign with the Knicks. He'll be a solid fit on the wing, and there is a good chance he sees solid playing time while Iman Shumpert (knee surgery) continues to recover. We're not very excited about his fantasy prospects on a team with a lot of players who will all want the ball. Brewer averaged 6.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 25 minutes per game last season.

Ronnie Brewer "could be Minnesota-bound," according to Aggrey Sam of CSN.com. Brewer doesn't have 3-point range and is a lousy FT shooter, limiting his fantasy appeal, but he could be a nice fit with the Wolves. He's a solid defender and operates best offensively when he's slashing to the basket, something coach Rick Adelman and PGs Ricky Rubio/J.J. Barea should be able to accommodate.

The Bulls will not pick up SG Ronnie Brewer's option for 2012-13. He has almost no shot at returning to the Bulls, but will likely find a bench role in the NBA.

Ronnie Brewer is the "least likely to return" of the Bulls' reserve players. Brewer's role was reduced in the first round of the playoffs, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him with a new team next season. CSN Chicago names Jimmy Butler as a candidate to fill Brewer's role for next season. If on the roster, Brewer will earn nearly $5 million for the 2012-13 season.

Speaking to a local radio station on Thursday, Ronnie Brewer said that he wants to return to the Bulls next season. With Jimmy Butler emerging as a more inexpensive option, the Bulls may not grant Brewer's wish. Brewer was supposed to be a bench player, but started 43 games during the season with Richard Hamilton injured most of the year. Brewer's role was reduced in the first round of the playoffs when Hamilton returned, only playing 13 minutes in each of the first two games and was even a healthy DNP-CD in Game 3. He did play in the last three games, including 29 minutes in Game 5. It would be a surprise if Brewer returned to the Bulls for next season.

Ronnie Brewer, who picked up an unexpected DNP-CD in Game 3, returned to play 17 minutes in Chicago's loss on Sunday. Brewer was scoreless but had four rebounds and three assists while playing sticky perimeter defense. His return cut into Rip Hamilton's activity, as Rip finished with just seven points on 3-of-9 shooting in 24 minutes. The Bulls have to win three straight games without their MVP in order to advance to the second round.

Ronnie Brewer started for injured Luol Deng (ribs) on Monday, scoring six points on 3-of-9 shooting with four rebounds, two assists, five steals, and one block in 28 minutes. Brewer has been a steals guy in prior years, though this year his 1.2 steals per game mark is a bit down playing in a more part-time role. Should the Bulls decide it's time to rest Deng in advance of the playoffs, give Brewer a look for that category and his low-end production across categories.

Ronnie Brewer was brought off the bench on Sunday in order to matchup up with the Thunder's James Harden, and scored seven points with three rebounds and two assists. Brewer will likely be back in the starting lineup on Monday, but given his recent lack of production he shouldn't be owned in 12-team leagues.

Ronnie Brewer scored five points on 2-of-6 shooting (including a three) with one steal in 19 minutes on Monday. Brewer has not met expectations since taking over once again for Richard Hamilton, and should remain on the waiver wire in standard formats until further notice.

Ronnie Brewer hit 5-of-8 shots (including a three) for 11 points, and also added seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one block in Monday's win over the Knicks. Brewer posted a similar line on Wednesday, but disappeared in the following game on Thursday with just three points and not much else in just under 20 minutes. We doubt he'll play that little on most nights going forward, and while he won't put up these numbers every night we do think he should be owned in 12-team formats.
