The Brandon Jennings Conundrum (Day 30)

breakchains · Post #381 » by **breakchains** » Tue Jul 16, 2013 1:44 am

I'd just shoot for pick(s). If I couldn't get a 2014 1st (i don't know why anyone would give that up), I'd shoot for a 2015 1st to a team who thinks it will be good but may not be.

Of course this is pure fantasy, as this team is unwilling to look plan for 6 months in the future, let alone 2-3 years.

Lack of news today seems to reinforce the fact that Jennings has little to no value. I'm not sure if there are any good options here. Sign the QO and hope he has an amazing start to the season to increase his value? Even that option makes me a little sick.

Pretty sad that I have to go to bed hoping for a Knight and Singler for Jennings deal. I can't fathom anything better.

We need 1 of these. Can any one just post every trade rumor or any other rumors he has said.

You have to believe that someone wants Jennings around the league. Even Ellis got signed somewhere. He definitely doesn't want to be in Milwaukee.

His trade value was bad to begin with. Now factor in that every team knows he wants out, and that we wanna move him.

Some teams will probably offer scratch for him. It's just a matter if Hammond will accept or not.

Reading the tea leaves of the latest Bucks press release, I mean JS article by Charles Gardner, I don't think we have to worry about Jennings being signed long term. It mentions the options as him signing the QO and playing out the year, working out a S&T, or him signing the QO and then being traded.

Whatever you hear in the media it isn't true, I haven't talk to anybody since the Season was over. Thank you!

"Jennings doesn't want to return to Bucks". Seems purely speculative, outside of the fact that Brandon did remove "PG of the Milwaukee Bucks" from his twitter bio as soon as he found out about the Teague offer sheet.

Gery Woelfel is the Grand Maester Pycelle of NBA insiders.*

*I had to look up the name of that character and only a few of you will get the reference, but I'm fine with how the process unfolded.

Also think this story began with Woelfel at the Journal Times and not SportingNews (http://www.sportingnews.com/nba/story/2 ... um=twitter).

That twitter thing actually seems like a big deal to me. That's pretty clear-cut.

Basically Jennings will only want to return to the Bucks if, and only if, they offer him a huge contract. That's obviously not gonna happen, so he doesn't want to return. That's been obvious from the start. I don't see him staying for the QO. He may take it, but he'd demand a trade to go along with that. He'd rather play out the year until free agency somewhere else would be my guess. I would assume he'd prefer a team with players that would make him look better.

Yes and no. I can see taking it down after the Bucks offered Teague simply out of embarrassment. The Bucks obviously didn't want him so it seemed relevant to me to remove it. Now that the Hawks have matched Teague it would be kind of silly to put it back up there. The only thing to do at this point is wait until you officially have a team to put anything back up.

I'm not doubting that Jennings is upset (who wouldn't be) and maybe he is requesting a trade (I might if I was in his shoes too). However, the Twitter thing isn't a big deal IMO.

As in he was insulted? His twitter says he's not talking to anybody. Sounds like he's being loyal to the team and maybe got his feelings hurt when the bucks looked at Teague.

A lot more credible than Gery.

I believe Kyler. Can't believe they'd consider a long term deal with him. I hope it just ends up being the QO.

Seems like somebody who's cutting ties mentally and emotionally. Classic Millennial social media break-up.

Kendall Marshall on the trade block. Too bad him and Larry Drew don't see eye to eye.

What should the Bucks do with Jennings?
