Please stop thinking we had our choice between Curry and Monta. They had their choice of who they wanted to give us, almost gave us Curry because of his ankles, but decided to keep him.


:lol:

We know Duke is Jim, who is this guy?


Nick Monroe? I'm sure he lurks here and/or posts, knowing he's always on social media. Nobody else can be this delusional. He's a ticket sales/retention guy who's trying to sell a product that is hot garbage.


I'll buy that. I mean who could actually believe that stuff?

I have seen a few random links on Facebook talking about how the Bucks might sign and trade Jennings for Rondo. Anyone else hear that rumor or see it reported?

Rondo makes no sense for us. If we're serious about win now, we need perimeter players with range on their jumpers. And yet he's a perennial all-star, so it only makes sense to get him if we want to win now.

I also doubt the Celtics would mess with that.

Ted Davis suggested that something was about to happen but didn't name names.

What are we doing with Rondo? Not a whole lot more than Boston. Pass.

Mayo/Delfino/Ersan is plenty of range in the starting 5 for Rondo to operate.

Have not heard any concrete rumors. I would love it. Tell him yeah he won't win a championship in the next couple years, but he can help make the team relevant and get a stadium built. Then tell him he can rent out the stadium whenever he wants for free....

The idea of starting Delfino is bumming me out.

Why has BuckPack been so quiet since the Teague match?

Agree but at least he can hit a jumper, I guess.

Could this be the JS foreshadowing a Jennings return on the QO?
Headline: Brandon Jennings a Problem the Bucks Must Live With For Another Season

http://www.jsonline.com/sports/bucks/br ... 32331.html

"As awkward as Jennings' one-year return would be, I'm thinking a potentially bad situation could actually become a good thing next season for player and organization with a lot of work and understanding on both sides.

In a contract year, Jennings would be highly motivated to become the player he thinks he is and get the money he thinks he's worth. With a new coach and without the friction caused by Monta Ellis' presence, it's possible that Jennings' attitude could be reshaped to make something of next season for the Bucks."

Son of a *****.
We're going to turn this team around 360 degrees.

Don't worry when we trade Jennings and Ersan for Rondo and Wallace we'll have our starting SF. :)

The only way this could be true would be if Jennings is basically an idiot since last year was a contract year for Jennings and he still launched terrible shots, shot a low %, and pouted for many games.

I'm assuming there's nothing to report as of now.

While I would obviously prefer he come back on the QO as opposed to him signing long-term, I don't think you can bring him back to this team in any fashion. He is simply not mature enough to separate the personal side and the business side of this situation.

With this franchise in dire straights the way it is we can't continue to have **** players that divide the locker room and promote a bad attitude/work ethic to the younger guys we might actually be able to build around at some point.

If the Bucks were smart they'd show brandon more love than any other team and welcome him back.

I too judge players based on highlights of a single game.

I'll bring him back on the q/o just to watch him shoot 35 shots a game, watch this team sink like a **** rock and watch him crying for a new deal all over next season.

The only thing I took away from watching that highlight is that we won't have to hear whoever yell out, "RRRRREEEEEEED" when the shot clock is winding down.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
