We're in a lot of trouble if we've got Steph Curry and James Harden in the backcourt and we're still fighting for the 8th seed.

Re: Honest question. Did Jennings run over someones dog?
Don't care what the assist numbers look like. Jennings just allowed more nobody PGs completely slice and dice the defense. He's worse defensively than he's skilled offensively...and even his offense is very inconsistent. Jennings is a bench player. You can say Knight is because he doesn't have drive and kick ability. He can at the very least defend the position. This is just unacceptable. The Jennings trade was the straw that broke the camels back for me. Proved that Joe learned nothing from BG, CV, and Daye. These soft, offense only players won't win you anything. Jennings and Monroe can both go. Just tired of the lack of defense and mentally plus physically soft players.

Agree. And I'm not convinced he's even a bench player on a real team. Maybe 12th man. Anyone playing 30 plus minutes with Drummond every game is gong to get some ally oop assists.

With a good coach he can be a very good player, but he needs get weight in the gym.

I agree with this 100% I think a package of Jennings and Monroe needs to happen. A top 5 pick and expiring or a top level talent.

Re: Honest question. Did Jennings run over someones dog?
So how many times in the last 5 games has Jennings cut hard to the hole on a P&R?
My guess is less than 5.
What he's doing is swinging too wide and letting the defender cut off the lane.... plain and simple BJ is afraid of contact... ... just look at when he's screened... there's not even an attempt to break through... then his teammates try to help which leaves someone wide open on the perimeter or worse by the rim... he's basically making the whole team look bad (not that they don't have enough miscues)... if we get a hard nosed long PG a lot of these breakdowns go away... we don't need a dynamic scorer just someone that can breakdown a defense and is a willing distributor.
This high volume perimeter shooting and weakass defense has got to go.

Here's the inherent problem:
A) No one is going to trade a top 5 pick for a package that essentially adds $21+ million to their salary.
B) No one is going to trade a top level talent for that package, either.
Jennings value doesn't help a Monroe package, it hurts it.

Jennings offense isn't good enough to make up for his hideous attempts to play defense. He should be a backup PG and not run a team 40 min/G.

Just a horrific PG. I think back to the Bad Boys and the 2003 to 2007 teams, and I don't believe Jennings would have seen ANY time on either of those two squads. If he was on those teams, he never leaves the bench. Never, ever.

Jennings ran over my dog. I'm not happy.
