I just don't like Brandon Jennings

Not as a player, and his opinions as well. Good lord, his twitter feed is atrocious.

Agree completely, it is hard to watch. Wannabe though.

Look away! :oops:

I understand Spencer Dinwiddie's Twitter is like the Anti-Jennings elixir :wink:

He's pretty much the antithesis to what Detroit desires in it's professional athletes. Two more years...two more long years...

Hate this guy. He seems like a terrible human being. It also doesn't help that he's not a particularly good basketball player either.

I think he's great for those And1 videos they used to do, or maybe a Globetrotter with his fancy dribbling in circles.

We could use BK7's 3 point stroke with high character quality in SVG's schemes right about now. I won't even go into details of letting go of Khris "literally 41% downtown" Mid for virtually nothing when we were 29th in shooting 3s.

Dumars...thanks.

^New ownership in Milwaukee, new shot caller in Kidd, maybe Kidd thinks he could rein in/mentor Jennings. HA!

Knight will frustrate the hell out of Kidd as Kidd was a natural and won't understand why others can't "get it" even half as easily as it came to him.

Tradeback!

I'd do a tradeback in a heartbeat. There's literally no question, at least BK would fit SVG's schemes as a shooter and occasional play maker sometimes.

SVG would LOVE Brandon Knight. Realistically though we'd need a three way - shipping Jennings elsewhere, because the Milwaukee fanbase is still there even if ownership and management has changed. Is there any GM stupid enough in the league to take on Jennings? Could we force any team who wants Moose to take Jennings?

Jennings would be FANTASTIC for the Philly tank. With all his slobberin' of Kobe, maybe we could trade him to LAL along with Monroe for Nash contract and Randle.

His basketball skills are more important to me than my personal feelings.

Of course, I have an extremely negative opinion of him as a player, so that doesn't help him.

I have very low expectations for him this year and wouldn't miss him at all if he was traded before the season started. That being said...

I can't wait for SVG to start training camp with this team. Either some of these guys are going to go Spreewell on him, or they will get better with his coaching. I'm not sure which path Jennings will choose, but hopefully he will wake up and play like a real PG under SVG.

I think this is about where I stand as well. Hope for the best, expect the worst. Jennings has the talent to be a very good PG. He has the brain to be even worse than he was last season...although not by much.

I still have a little bit of faith in Jennings. Before Cheeks was fired he was averaging 18/8 on ~40%FG with mediocre defense. After his mentor was gone and it looked like we were entering tank mode his production took a dive but the whole team minus Drummond was playing like turd.

If SVG can motivate and focus him, and instil a team defense that masks Jennings's deficiences I believe he can at least be passable for us most nights, with the odd WTF game. If not, he's an expiring next season and we can hopefully flip him for something (anything?).

Jennings should be able to use Hardaway as a sounding board, but Jennings and fired coach Maurice Cheeks — another Chicago point guard product and solid NBA performer — didn’t mesh well.

Will Jennings ever shooting better than 45% overall in a season?

SVG wont tolerate any Jennings non sense. He will bench his ass asap. Very dissapointed both Jennings and Smith are still on bord.

The title of this thread sums up how I feel about Jennings. I don't know why I follow him on twitter. He is just awful as a player and person.
