The Brandon Jennings Conundrum (Day 30)

[BigDoggyStyle]

I'm not sure why "Offer him the QO" is an option. The QO is already out there and offered for him to take. Should be, wait it out and force him to take the QO.

[Badgerlander]

S&T Jennings to the Lakers for Nash and flip Nash to Toronto for Lowry+Ross. D'Antoni is practically fired already and Nash is a Canadian Icon, may have to throw in some of our 2nds to get Ross out of the deal.

The only flaw in that is that Bryan Colangelo isn't GM anymore. They've got a young smart guy in place. He knows Ross and Lowry are perhaps the two most valuable assets of the bunch.

I don't think Lowry has all that much value around the league. I'd put him at about the same level as Devin Harris right now. Coaches hate him.

[InsideOut]

If you think he'll ever "get it" do the QO. If after a several months he still can't "get it" then trade him for 2 second round picks. If you feel he is beyond hope then just let him walk and put it down as another one of Hammond's great picks that lead to nothing.

[M-C-G]

Ok, who says no;

BOS IN: Gooden, Udoh, Ridnour, Ayon (17M in 13, 6.8M in14), MKE 2014 1st, WAS 2014 1st
BOS OUT: Rondo, Wallace (22M in 13, 33M in 13/14)

WAS IN: Ersan
WAS OUT: Seraphin, Vesely 2014 1st

MKE IN: Rondo, Wallace, Seraphin, Vesely
MKE OUT: Gooden, Udoh, Ridnour, Ayon, Ersan, 2014 1st

Rondo, Wolters, Ish
Mayo, Delfino, Dominic Jones
Wallace, Giannis, Vesely
Henson, Seraphin
Sanders, Zaza

Close, too much???

I would let Brandon Jennings walk. Why do I want a motivated Brandon Jennings for 1 year with the QO? It very well might make the Bucks better (and put us in the middle of the pack for drafting purposes) without any hope of keeping Brandon for the long-term. We have jilted him one too many times.

I think that John Hammond will try to sign Brandon at the same contract price (4 years/$32 million) that he offered Jeff Teague. He will feel that Larry Drew can make him a team player. BJ does have NBA talent and impressively led the Bucks as a rookie in the FTD year.

This is a close call. It may depend upon Senator Kohl's view of Brandon Jennings.

[braindazer]

NO to Rondo !

Rondo, Wolters, Ish
Mayo, Delfino, Dominic Jones
Wallace, Giannis, Vesely
Henson, Seraphin
Sanders, Zaza

I would hope the Bucks say no...and I think you have to wait to trade Ridnour

And Boston is getting an absolute steal there

[LUKE23]

I'm fine with QO and trade or letting walk.

[wichmae]

I just let him walk. For me the Jennings ship has sailed and if he is on the roster next season my family and I wont spend a penny on this organization. I cant stand him as a player and I cant stand his attitude.

I'm seeing less than 100 points per 100 possessions. That would be hard work to watch.

If the Pistons want Rondo and have to give up alot, why not get into this conversation

Pistons get: Rondo and Wallace
Celtics get: Jennings and Drummond or Monroe and Charlie
Bucks get: Knight and Middleton

[El Duderino]

There would be no conundrum for me if i was GM. One year deal on the QO next year would be the extent of his time left in Milwaukee.

No way Piston move Drmmond or Monroe, The Bucks get pooped on in this trade making everybody better but themselves, Plus Knight is at best Jennings 40% fg 4 apg in 31.5 mpg

I'd trade Jennings for Knight in a heart beat.

Maybe he can learn under Wolters next year...

[fabio]

The Sixers are tanking and the Pacers' starting PG is better so no.

George Hill is not better than Jennings.

yes he is. HIll makes a contender team play. Jennings makes a so so team not want to resign him.

[MiltownHawkeye]

I'd trade Jennings for Knight in a heart beat.

What exactly does Knight do better than Jennings?

[kgill_12bucks]

I'd trade Jennings for Knight in a heart beat.

What exactly does Knight do better than Jennings?

I haven't watched much "Detroit Basketball" but what am I missing? He's 6-3 can't shoot, 40% fg doesn't pas,s 4 apg 31 mpg? Better teammate?

[Matches Malone]

He's better at not being Jennings for one..

I would say attitude mostly. Jennings comes off as a very selfish me first person. It's one thing to suck but it's an entirely different situation when you suck and then act like you are the second coming of Allen Iverson.
