I don't have that kind of faith in Knight, but he'd sure make a nice tank commander.

The money ain't out there. Once Jennings calms down and listens to his agent.

BR sucks, but this article is spot on"Point guards are supposed to be leaders on the court and in the locker room. Teams aren't going to invest in a floor general who can't manage himself, let alone his troops."There is no evidence to suggest that Jennings has changed.
Starting waves in his own locker room, discussing his future plans while he's still under contract with the Bucks, making demands he is in no position to make—the list goes on. And it doesn't stop.
That's not just part of the problem; it's all of it.
We can chalk the absence of a contract up to suitors' fears of the Bucks matching, but we'd be wrong. This situation isn't on Milwaukee (entirely). It's on player who has yet to find, and subsequently embrace, direction.
Until Jennings proves that he is deserving of the respect and compensation he claims he is, he will forever be in a holding pattern.
After deciding not to attend college and missing David Stern announce his name on account of tardiness, the point guard still hasn't grown up. He seems to be the same inefficient and misguided young player he was back then.
Four years later, we're still waiting for Brandon Jennings to show up.
“If I take the qualifying offer and become an [unrestricted] free agent there is no way I am coming back,” Jennings told Yahoo! Sports on Friday after practice. “There is no way.”
He turned down a four-year, $40 million deal prior to this season, a source told Yahoo! Sports. A one-year qualifying offer would be worth about $4.5 million for Jennings.
“It’s not unfair to make that statement if he feels there is not a deal fair to him this summer,” Bucks general manager John Hammond said of Jennings’ stance. “I would be surprised if it happens. But he is operating within the [collective bargaining] rules. I’m not taken aback. It’s a natural discussion to have.”

Bringing him back on the QO is far better than extending him.

Apparently Jennings was renting a condo on the river here downtown.
According to my friend Jennings left a condo full of stuff from furniture to clothing and never came back to town to clear it out.
If this is true, he really wanted out of town badly and perhaps thought he was getting paid big time and didn't care about the financial aspect.
