Official Speculation Thread (Pt.LX Offseason Edition)

Anyone that thinks a team featuring Jennings, Josh Smith, Monroe, and Drummond is atreadmill team needs to check into rehab for their cocaine addiction.

They could easily, EASILY displace either of the NY teams for 4th best team in the east thats without taking into consideration any moves that may happen to bring in more help at the 2. Jennings' numbers remind me of Chanucey Billups through the years, little to no difference in terms of shooting percentages imo, and Brandon is the better scorer.

A. Drummond ≈ L. Sanders
G. Monroe ≈ E. Ilyasova
J. Smith ≈ M. Ellis
B. Jennings = B. Jennings

Definitely looks like a playoff team in the East, don't get me wrong, but not sure there's much upside beyond that this season. Still serious questions to address regarding spacing.

I don't agree, I think they'll be a better defensively which will seperate them from that Bucks team. I agree about spacing which is why I think they'll bring in more help at the 2 spot.

i would caution that Billups %'s look like Jennings, but Billups didnt jack up nearly the amount of shots Jennings did. He put up about half the attempts. And I would think Detroit needs a leader, not just a scorer.

Why cocaine?

You know..I'm not sure. Maybe a hallucinogen would've been a better choice?

Right because he's a volume shooter, I get it, he's still the better scorer imo. Can't say much about Jennings leadership but Chauncey is there as well so maybe Brandon can learn from him in that regard.

I'm not impressed with Detroit's FA moves at all. Knight shot a comparable percentage to Jennings from 3, shot better overall, is bigger, has fewer attitude issues and is less expensive. So what's the upside from Jennings? Throw in Josh Smith's less than stellar shot selection and attitude, mix in an offensively challenged sophmore, and a PF who regressed after an impressive rookie year, top it off with Charlie V and you've got a perfectly disjointed treadmill team.

Charlies pretty good in 2k13.

idk about you but if we could get Stephenson over here in FA if Oladipo becomes our PG that would be fun to watch. Stephenson is rebound god

Stephenson reminds me of Crawford. you will want to pull your hair out 1 possession and high five him the next. He definitely should not be handling the ball, forces way too much and too many turnovers. There is talent that is there, just unbridled and out of control most of the time.

Anywhere but NYK and DEN!

3-4 Million for him would be more than Reasonable and i doubt Pacers would want to match seeing they got like 4-5 good SF/SGs and probably dont wanna tie all their Money up into 2 positions

Sadly....the Bucks may never trade again with us.....even it's obvious that they will be the winner of the trade....a thought will linger...."We might be getting screwed!" haha

Beno would fit really well in New York. His job would just be "pass the ball." And he's shown his ability to make some plays which is what New York needs, scoring won't be a problem with Melo, Smith, Shump-a-Dump, Stoudy, and Felton. Unlike here when the offense went stagnate and he felt it was his duty to try and shoot his a** off.

Wow, Simmons says Chris Paul threatened the Clippers that he'd go to Houston if they didn't get Doc. That'd have been something.
