Or he signs a fair deal with the Bucks and grows into a quality player. That would be a win for Milwaukee.

Gery Woeful...I know he doesn't seem to know jack, but he's all we have....indicated that there is a possible S&T option with an East Coast team that would include a PG coming back. Any ideas?

At that price, he should be tradeable, even if you have to wait to nearer the dealine, when injuries could make him a more desirable choice for a contender. I realize he can veto a trade, but right now, it may be sinking in that he's not in real demand. He needs to go somewhere else to get his career back on track.

I don't have a desire to trade him. He can get his career on track in Milwaukee just as could anywhere and it's on the organization to continue to fill out the roster with young talent.

if he says no tell him to stick it. let him sign the QO.

then go get mo williams to play the 3 gaurd rotation with mayo and ridnour. offer big money on a 1 year deal.... let jennings rot behind them until he can work out a deal elsewhere.

this shouldnt be this hard.

F no to Mo Williams. He's a backup in the NBA.

Quite honestly so is Jennings. He just may have a few people believing he can still make it as a starter. At this pace, it wont take too long until he finds his way to the bench.

It is arguable who's better as a backup. Mo or Jennings.

I have wondered if MKE has told Jennings we will only offer you_____ amount. He said screw you and the Bucks went after Teague. They have a deal still on the table...its up to Jennings to decide if he wants it.

3/21 or 3/24 would be fair.

Based on his current growth this will be interesting. I hope we don't wager a ton of money on this.

Brandon Jennings is a superior player and asset than Mo Williams.

I bet it's Felton. If so, gross.

Not based on statistics. Based on the mythical potential sure.

I have yet to see a game won on potential. Generally actual play wins or loses games.

Milwaukee is showing some prudence this summer, so we'll see. I think he has improved as a player and even if his statistics aren't what some want to see, the talent still remains.

This board is extremely down on Jennings to totally unrealistic proportions and I expect will moan regardless of the deal (if they bring him back).

I doubt anyone's going to give up a #1 overall pick for Brandon.

I am pretty a matter of fact with him. I would consider resigning but only in the 6-7M range. Or the QO and he can prove to the league he's worth more. Of course if he proves that we are likely to lose him.

If he blows up just trade him at the deadline no matter what.

If he blows up, and we're in the playoff hunt, do you really think our idiot GM/owner would get behind that?

See; this last year.

I agree our history says this will never happen. When has it ever happened? Also, we would have little leverage in the situaton as BJ would be unrestricted. So my guess is even if we did trade him we wouldn't get much... 2nd round picks anyone? Still better than nothing I guess.

Rondo? That'd be nice, but I doubt it.

Don't really see how we could get Rondo without giving up Sanders, Henson, Giannis or our 2014 1st round pick.

I know, it's all about the ppgz and mpgz, efficiency plays no part in a players value (cue sarcasm).

I agree that's close, but also consider the NBA premium which bumps it up a level. I said 6-8M per personally, but in the NBA, it's probably 7-10M with Jennings asking 12M. IMO

What I get from this is that Hammond called a team on the West Coast about a S&T with Jennings and that team laughed and hung up.

What should the Bucks do with Jennings?
