Let the tanking begin.

Awesome. Love the attitude.

Cue the "sit back, watch and eat popcorn" gif.

Knicks are delusional and think there a contender. They could be someone that bites on Jennings. Only thing is I know Jennings would want to play in LA or NY and I would hate to let that happen for him and reward him for being a turd.

That'll be our luck tho, we trade Jennings for Shumpert and Felton comes back with him and now Felton is our starter. Felton is basically 1 of very few PGs that I actually see as a significant downgrade from Jennings. I don't really see where Shumpert goes with us unfortunately either. I'd hate to trade Jennings for Mayos backup. Shump is too small to play SF and definitely can't run an offense so even by acquiring him we are still in the same situation and short 2 starters.

Knicks are over the cap and you can't do a sign and trade with teams that are in the luxury tax. So Knicks probably aren't a destination for Jennings.

I'd be fine with it, but it's not possible.

I get what you are saying but can't have that attitude. I don't care how happy or sad Jennings is, as long as it works out for the Bucks(doubt it actually will). I agree about the Knicks, they don't know what they are doing and I could see Jennings there. They like to give away picks too, so that works.

I think Jennings probably will take the QO. I don't think any team has the cap space to give him the deal he wants and any deal less than that would be matched in all likelihood. He might just end up having to do what OJ Mayo did - sign a 2 year deal with a player option on year 2.

Shumpert can play SF. He weighs 220. He has the skills and athleticism and defensive ability to do fine there. Also of note that Bo Ryan was the first high major coach to offer him and he is from Chicago so might actually like playing here.

I'd take back Shump in a heartbeat. Can't he play PG too?

Meh this sucks....probably not a bad move to give him the QO. If he plays well you can trade him midseason or just let him walk next summer. I would rather get something for him if we can and S & T sounds like a lost cause at this time.

I just cannot believe there is NO market for him right now, none. Teams must just be laughing at him and us.

I completely expected this. Why would other teams want an inefficient chucker who thinks he is worth way, way more than he is? Additionally, PG is a loaded position in the league and not that many teams are even looking for a starter

The bucks are being laughed at alright. What an absolute waste of an off-season. My grade is F.

Jennings has zero impact for the bucks and no team wants him. I'm in for starting Ridnour and the only option is to tank and tank hard.. Ridnour>Mayo>Delfino>Henson>Sanders

The problem the bucks have are they are small-minded mentality FO and that produces this type of off-season. Go get Milsap, but we won't trade for any talent above mid-level. Why do the bucks shoot themselves in the foot over and over again. Wake up bucks and start getting your head out of the sand.

Other than MKE that is....(not many looking for starting PG)

If Hammond traded Ersan I could definitely see him driving the tank. If not, we know he tried his very best (failing once again) to make this team win-now. If the latter is true, he should be fired on the spot. He's suited to be a Dir of Player Personnel type like Babcock with an eye for young talent, but he's clueless when it comes to building a roster that can compete.

I am not going to blame this totally on the Bucks. Not their fault that BJ is out of his mind as to how good he really thinks he is. Not their fault that he pouted when he did not make the all star team and played like **** afterwards. Maybe they should have known better that BJ was going to be a problem no matter what and traded him at the deadline last year and got some value for him.

Its Woelfel, so I guess we can omit DET as a destination.

@GeryWoelfel: Whispers increasing at Vegas Summer League that Bucks are talking to Pistons about Jennings' sign and trade.
