Ford: Jennings #2 most likely to be moved

[InsideOut]

BJ, via his play and his attitude, is doing a great job destroying whatever value he once had. He has been his own worst enemy yet somehow I'm sure he blames everyone else for his situation.

I wish Nebula didn't go into hiding so he could give us the other side of the situation.

[Kerb Hohl]

Trade the guy who as at least for a few seasons put on the PR that he likes Milwaukee for Josh Smiff.

Actually, I wouldn't put anything past Hammond/Kohl...but good god.

[JayMKE]

Help me out here. I don't watch the Bucks at all. What are Jennings' strengths and weaknesses? Outside of a potential headcase and more known for his offense. The guy seems to come off maybe selfish?

It's going to be hard to get a non-biased answer on this right now. Keeping it short, he's very quick and a pretty good altho very streaky 3 point shooter. Because of his slight frame he avoids contact so he doesn't go to the FT line often and can't really finish. Good enough defender but can get bullied by larger stronger guards and gambles on steals a lot. Doesn't have great vision but not terrible but looks for his shot first. Doesn't turn the ball over a lot. I wouldn't say he's a headcase, he's young and acts like it but he cares a lot about winning and can be pretty emotional. I think he'd do well on a team were he's like the 3rd option.

Ford seems to think the Bucks have lots of valued assets. Let's hope there are a handful of GMs that agree.

Wasn't Walaffel (sp?) saying the same thing?

[SkilesTheLimit]

Josh Smith to Milwaukee would be ironic, sure he'd be real thrilled.

MANY players have wanted out of here: Ersan, Mbah A Moute, Charlie Bell, etc. & we've ended up keeping those guys. This might be different though

Jennings will make more money than any one of those guys did.

Yea we do. Tobias, Henson, Sanders, Ersan, Udoh, 1st round picks...

[ReasonablySober]

I'd move Jennings for Teague straight up if Atlanta is that stupid.

[mlloyd10]

Bucks get: Teague
Hawks get: Jennings/S-Jax/Leonard
Spurs get: Smith

[BUCKnation]

Id try to get a good 3-way going if they really wanted to offer Smith.

Not too thrilled about that ORL or DAL package. As said in the other thread, I gladly take Collison and Crowder but they dont have a 1st so that is a no go.

Jeff Teague and Morrow is something Id definitely consider.

[JayMKE]

Potential trade around Smith to Philly, Jennings and Hawes to Atlanta and Turner to us?

That's not terrible I guess.

[SkilesTheLimit]

Jeff Schwartz is really putting the full court press on forcing a trade. Newest headline on RealGM notes Jennings "irreconsilable differences" with Bucks.

He's sure trying his hardest to get negative vibes out there. If we know anything about Kohl, it's that he despises bad PR.

[emunney]

Come ooooooon big Jeffy big Jeffy big Jeffy big Jeffy no whammies... STOP!

[Thunder Muscle]

To me the most disappointing aspect is its another player forcing his way out of Milwaukee. Its kind of a tired act. I don't know if the organization, the city, the weather, or a combo. But I don't know how we're ever going to have success if our talented players want out. And if another leaves, that furthers the rep that people must hate it here.

From a pure basketball standpoint, I want BJ3 gone. Too inconsistent, too pouty, fragile confidence, and way too entitled for what he delievers.

before this season started jennings was my least favorite buck of all time.... now its somehow even worse. i literally despise the team because of his presence on it.

please do not sign this clown john hammond. please please trade him now. the return is inconsequential to the timing at this point.

[JayMKE]

Don't see why Teague would be that much of a coup since he'll be getting paid too. Would rather just get pick.

Why would Atlanta even do that anyways?

[GHOSTofSIKMA]

How much suck can a Baddy Chuck suck...

Brandon Jennings, alleged seeker of a max deal, continues to rank only so-so by these sorts of metrics, and since the Bucks are a camera team, you can bet they know this. Jennings has recorded a ho-hum 5.8 drives per game, and the Bucks have scored just 1.06 points per possession on trips when Jennings does drive — one of the lowest numbers in the sample. Monta Ellis is both more prolific (about 8.0 drives per game) and a more efficient engine of team scoring (1.30 points per possession) when he does drive.

Ellis remains an underrated offensive player in this sense. He can bend a defense in compromising ways, and his passes have always produced a higher-than-expected number of shots at the rim and open 3s for teammates. It makes you wonder how good Ellis could be if he stopped shooting so many long jumpers (24 percent from deep on 3.5 attempts per game is basically sabotage) and learned to play acceptable defense.

Cellomac will like this post.

anybody who watches the games has known exactly what the stats suggest about monta for a long time. his long jumpers are asinine but he still remains an offensive weapon despite them.

[WEFFPIM]

If Atlanta really wants to gun after some free agents in the offseason, I wonder if you could manage to pry a pick away from them.

[Wiscfan92]

only team really interesting to me is ATL. but I want nothing to do with josh smith and a 30-game contract. Interested in Teague and some picks for BJ. Plain and simple, I dont care if he leaves. Not an elite player, MAYBE top 10 PG so if he wants to like everyone else says go to a bigger market with a much shorter leash, then be my guest.

What does all this talk leave for our situation with Ellis?
