The only way they're taking Len is if they trade down. My guess is they're evaluating him in case someone in the 4-7 range comes knocking.

I think Brandon Jennings is the perfect example of being in a bad situation in Milwaukee. I think a change of scenery could do him A LOT of good.

I feel like if the right coach got a hold of him that he could be a way more efficient player. Every time I watched the bucks play they're plays were awful and he ended up having to chuck shots at the end of the shot clock ALL the time.

I'd prefer giving Monte Ellis a shot over Jennings. But, Ellis is going to command big bucks.

Hey, look....we agree. I think Monta will be around 8.5-9.0per. Id take Monta Ellis as a scoring PG in the Westbrook mold over Jennings.
A smart coach once said, "Potential just means you're not good enough yet." Playing on potential is like living on air: It's essential, but if thats all you have, you're eventually going to starve.

agreed. Same salary Ellis over Jennings

If a team could get Jennings for 5M a year, it'd be worth it.

Actually, I would consider paying Ellis 8-10 mil per over a 4 year deal if he would come here. He is decent on defense and that would be a major improvement at the PG position.

Imagine . . .

Ellis
McLemore or Oladipo
Hark
Harris/BBD
Vucci

Total Domination!

Sure will be within a few years. Once Harris becomes the next Carmello, Harkless becomes the next Tayshaun Prince, McLemore becomes the next Ray Allen, Ellis stays Ellis and Vucci becomes the next Pau or Marc Gasol, Total Domination!!!! 8-)

I don't see us pursuing Ellis, really not even sure if he fits in our window for a championship contending team.

Interesting...drafting Noel and signing Jennings is highly intriguing :o


That would be absolutely terrible.

I agree it is intriguing, I'm curious how many games before the whole board turns on Jennings. One game? One week? That's the intriguing part =)

Jennigs and Ellis are talents, not in our window or culture. It seems to me we are build and developing TEAM and family attitudes rather than the stereo typical pro athlete attitude of me first.

To add a positive to this thread I have Tobais Harris on Instagram and he has been training hard already with O'Quinn, thats good news to me, the rest is in Hennigan's hands
