Ford: Jennings #2 most likely to be moved

I can't help but think that based on our roster, the last thing we need to worry about is adding filler assets to the mix (except Sanders) to get a Gordon deal done.

Teague yes, no way I'd swap Jennings for Vazquez unless it was one of the last scenarios out there. Good passer, arguably worst defender at PG in the NBA, only a decent offensive player individually.

24 years old, 20 ppg efficient scorer when he's right. He has been injured, but it's not like he has a chronic problem that will never go away. We're going to have to take a risk on a young player at some point.

Disagree he's "not that good" though. If you want to say he's been injured, fine.

How serious is his knee issue moving forward? Is there good info out there about the risk of him possibly being affected permanently?

Too bad the Timberwolves don't need a point guard. Would love to ship him further north to the icy lands of Minnesota. Go suck on an icicle Brad!

But seriously, I feel this comes at a really bad time for the Bucks. Just not a great market for him (if there ever was one). Not to mention we have a FO that has no history of making situations like this successful.

I think Utah would be possibility. Maybe Brad, Daly for Millsap, Burks, 1st. Not great value though or need. Would love to pry away some of the Spurs' youth. I feel the best we can get will be a mid 1st and an unproven young guy and after all of this hupla. Maybe a get a big name with the inclusion of Ersan (but I know no one wants to do that).

Just saw the Hornets possibility. If we can get Eric Gordon or their pick unprotected, I would be ecstatic.
Trade for Gordon now and get Kelvin Sampson in the off-season and turn this ship in the right direction!

**** no on Vasquez.

I like watching General Greivis play but without a big that knows how to PnR he'd be useless here.

If you're talking about the one that gets us Bledsoe and butler for luc and BJ I'm ok with it if we can't find anything better but I would hope that's not the best trade that's on the table...

I think we underestimate the importance of recruiting in todays prima donna NBA. Get Sampson and an unlimited family plan in here ASAP. Find some Stotts guy to do the xoxo and a PR guy to clean up the messes.

Oh and a set of Docs with at least a Caribbean degree

Couldn't agree more. Isn't he like 26?

Ive been saying for awhile now that if we could reunite Sampson and Gordon that would be great.

I would love it if we could do a Jennings for Teague/Morrow/1st trade. I think we easily win that deal.

He has been having a lot of trouble with his knee hasn't he? He has missed the better part of his 2 seasons with the Hornets with it. He missed quite a bit of time in LA too. I always got the feeling he never wanted to be in New Orleans, why would he want to be here in Milwaukee? I guess he's from Indiana but I'm still taking New Orleans if I was him. How good do you really think he is? I don't think he's anywhere close to a #1. Do you think he'll return to what he was an improve on that?

I guess I'd do him for Jennings + salary filler but I would never add any more assets. I'd be hesitant trading for him period since I'm not sure he'll ever get over his issues.

LUKE23 · Post #214 » by **LUKE23** » Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:12 pm

If he didn't have any injury issues he wouldn't be available, most likely.

Baddy Chuck · Post #215 » by **Baddy Chuck** » Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:13 pm

1. Teague
2. Dallas' pick
3. Both of Atlanta's picks and some salary filler
4. Vasquez or Anderson
5. Collison/filler and dumping Gooden

Out of the three teams those would be my favorite realistic scenarios. Let's face it, Eric Gordon isn't walking through our door, especially if you aren't adding much more to Jennings. Get the best asset you can, no matter what that is, and move on. I for one am happy we are in this situation, even if we are backed into a corner with a potential trade. Not sure how most of you guys didn't see it before, Brandon Jennings is a **** bum.

Bottom Line

Just keep the Sanders/Illyasova/Henson frontline and go for some big move for a current stud/high pick. If not dont sign any long term crap and fight another day.

Godgers · Post #217 » by **Godgers** » Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:15 pm

First can anyone one blame any player that is not happy playing for the Bucks. We are one of the most pathetic teams in all sports and have been for atleast 8 years now.

That being said everyone acts like Jennings is not a talented player. Hes a shoot first PG and in my opinon PGs like this are not players you build around but hes still young and talented.

I would take a 1st & Teague for Jennings from the Hawks or any deal similar.

Wonder if the Wizards would ever trade Wall.

First priority should be draft picks unless you can trade for a star you can build around. This team needs a stud. If you cant trade for a star than the next best thing is to gather draft picks and try to draft one.

Bucks should trade Jennings and Ellis and get as many picks /young assests as possible. Jennings and Ellis will never take this team deep into the playoffs and have no shot of every winning a championship. So its pointless to even keep them.

JayMKE · Post #218 » by **JayMKE** » Wed Feb 13, 2013 9:15 pm

If we're going after guys with injury issues then I'd much rather go after Rondo if he's available. Not comfortable with Gordon at all.

I'd easily take Harkless over 4/5. ORL is in the mix as well, apparently. Vazquez does nothing for me.

Only players I wouldnt trade would be Sanders/Illyasova/Henson.
