Six teams interested in signing Brewer

Chicago, Boston, Portland, Utah, Washington and Cleveland have expressed interest in free agent swingman Ronnie Brewer, league sources told SI.com.

The 6-foor-7, 227-pound Brewer averaged 8.8 points in 58 games last season. After being traded from Utah to Memphis in February, Brewer suffered a partially torn right hamstring that limited him to five games with the Grizzlies.

At his introductory press conference, Bulls forward Kyle Korver -- an ex-teammate of Brewer's in Utah -- said he planned on recruiting Brewer to join him and Carlos Boozer in Chicago.

"I was texting Ronnie Brewer earlier, so we're trying to start the Chicago Jazz here," said Korver.

Chicago's interest in Brewer is likely to increase if Orlando matches the three-year, $19 million offer sheet the Bulls extended to J.J. Redick last week.
