The Brandon Jennings Conundrum (Day 30)

I highly doubt its a first. We don't have a ton of leverage and Knight is a good young backup.

these rumors likely all stemmed from the guy everyone here laughs at.

If we get a pick I'd bet we get CV to make the salaries work instead of Stuckey

2. You have the balls to try to make a play

Getting dunked on 9 out of 10 times is better if you get 1 stop than letting the guy go without a fight.

Same. I support aggressive defense and sometimes it happens.

I LOVE that Knight tried to guard Irving in the rookie game, and that he tried stop Deandre Jordan at the rim. Let morons make fun of him, I want guys with that fierceness on my team.

Maybe part of the reason we amnestied Gooden?

Is CV even serviceable anymore? Lost track of him the past few years.

Knight is a similar player to BJ. Combo bench guard, definitely not a starting PG. Watch us be the ones to give up a pick.

I don't mean with Detroit necessarily. But Brandon will be on the move.

interesting tweet to say the least....however that was 22 hours ago.

It was a dumb play to try to stop Jordan at the rim. If he did that 100x, he would definitely end up in the hospital more often than he'd stop that dunk.

Plus he put him on the line. Stupid. I respect the competitiveness, but You Gotta Know When to Fold 'Em.

Bucks would need to have another player coming back to make the salaries match, since Brandon is not going to sign a three year contract close to what Knight makes so he can go play for the Pistons.

Do it. Why not. If it can be a 1st rounder even lotto protected I'd take that alone for Jennings. Brandon Knight is just a mild sweetner. Knight as our starter definitely solidifies the tank so Id be definitely excited about that more than anything. Plus who knows, Teague didnt look like much more than a backup PG his 1st 2 years and really blossomed under Drew and co, so maybe Knight could follow suit. I'd say Knight has a better chance to do so than Jennings. Jennings is just to far removed and could never ever be even content with Milwaukee, no coaching staff could change that. Jennings is the better player than Knight at the current moment so id sure hope that pick was some form of a 1st rounder, even lotto protected next year..

Didn't Udoh randomly tweet about 2 weeks ago: I LOVE DETROIT

That was really weird. No way they could've known something was in the works that far back because it preceded the whole Teague thing.

I disagree. He tried to make a good plan and it didn't pan out. That was a heads up play and was trying to do something good. And who cares if DeAndre has to go to the line. He is a terrible free throw shooter.

breakchains · Post #716 » by **breakchains** » Wed Jul 17, 2013 2:49 am

i'll take that contest 100x out of 100, with the risk of injury and low chance of stoppage. When your little guys play like that it makes your big guys feel like some big pussies if they don't play with the same mentality.

Charlie V is an expiring yeah? I'd take him on if we could get Knight / Singler back. I'm sure we could move CV as a decent expiring at the deadline for something.

Does everyone really view Henson as untouchable here? I agree he's a nice piece, but defiantly not a superstar or someone I would let get in the way of acquiring someone like Rondo. Just trying to get a feel for other's opinions on him. Seems I took a little bit of flak for questioning his heart tonight.

Detroit is over the cap so whatever salary Jennings agrees to we have to take back similar money and CV make 8+mil, he hit some 3s last year in the games that he was healthy for.

He's more than often off but maybe he whiffed something. Pretty similar timing.

What should the Bucks do with Jennings?
