Its been well documented that the Cleveland Cavaliers are in on Corey Brewer. However, Cleveland isn’t alone according to ESPN’s Marc Stein, who reports that the Houston Rockets are ready to acquire the Timberwolves’ guard.
Things are fluid, as always in trade talks, but latest word is Houston more likely than Cleveland as landing spot via trade for Corey Brewer

Rockets have made it clear they're ready to move NOW. Cavs said to be weighing whether to prioritize pursuing rim protector or wing depth

Tricky one for CLE since Corey Brewer is available now AND rim protectors are harder to get. As Cavs have found in months of chasing Mozgov

Those tweets from Stein are also interesting in that he mentions the Nuggets’ Timofey Mozgov as potentially being a trade target for the Cavs once again. It was mentioned, during the offseason, that Cleveland was attempting to add to its front-court and acquire Mozgov. Might Cleveland wait on Brewer and look to add a rim protector?
