I have to say, i am really intrigued by Brewer if we get the #3 spot.  He reminds me of gerald green with a brain, seriously.  Brewer is a phenomenal athlete, plays a smart game, can play d, shoot, drive, do it all.  And he doesn't seem to have the ego that he needs to be the #1 guy.

There is nothing gerald does better than brewer (other than perhaps dunk, but brewer is also a freakish athlete).  If people are convinced al is the answer at pf, why be redundant with horford?  I understand you can never have too many bigs, but I think Brewer has a chance to be very good.

That said, i'd be happy with conley too.
