That's the right answer.

I'm bolding the ones who really improved after their fourth season.

Lowry/Ross/Bargnani for Ilyasova/Gooden/Jennings
They were linked to Ilyasova in the off season.
The way I looked at is Jennings is going to make $10mil next year so would you rather have Lowry/Bargnani or Jennings/Gooden for $16 mil?

Too bad Morey is too smart to trade for him. Could kill two birds with one stone in that scenerio.
Would you trade Jennings/Ilyasova for Lin/Patterson?

I think the deal would have to get bigger then to go with Jones like adding Tobias Harris.

Woof.

Agreed, Jennings has had exactly one NBA coach prior to Boylan. That coach seems to have a reputation for not holding players accountable on the offensive end, and conflicting reports about said coaches ability to construct an effective offense.
Up until a year ago, he hasn't been paired with another true scorer, and then when we get one, we get possibly the worst possible match for Jennings game.
I'd like to see a coach that forces him to focus on creating offense, high paced, alley oops, etc AND give him someone that can stroke the three and and run the court at SG. I'd be really excited to see what's possible from there.
As mentioned before 3/4 of this board if not more completely bailed on Larry Sanders as hopeless after the summer league. It would be sad to bail on someone with so much potential without seeing how he reacts to a different coach, and someone that can match his game at SG.

Larry Sanders is breaking out in year 3 after not getting a lot of opportunities in the first two seasons. Brandon has had the starting job now for four years.

Mo Williams TS his first 4 seasons in the NBA - .433, .504, .518, .519. It wasn't until his 5th year that he improved to .566, yet magically he isn't bolded on your list?
I agree with the general sentiment that its better if they break out earlier, and that generally later break out guys don't become superstars but I don't think its a long shot that he improves.

LUKE23 wrote:I'm only half kidding, unfortunately. None of any of these trades matter unless there is a tank put on, and that is the problem. At some point, if we aren't going to tank, we need to pick a core of guys and see what we have. Dumping Ilyasova for expirings and Jennings for Kyle Lowry doesn't help us any more now or any more in the future. Unless you think FA is going to be how the Bucks make their hay. And it sure as hell isn't.

LUKE23 wrote:Because I believe the team could make a big leap with a different SG, and I don't believe we'll find a younger/better PG prospect than Jennings in the draft or the open market. Adding Lowry and Marion does NOTHING to help this team long-term. Great, it gives a one-year stop gap, we're still not high in the lottery, and then we're still searching for long-term pieces. What is wrong with seeing what Jennings/new SG/Moute/Ilyasova/Sanders/Harris/Udoh/Lamb has. Grab another pick in a Monta deal too. It's not like our cap is in trouble at all, especially if we finally smarten up and amnesty Gooden.
