I can agree on this point. TT was one of the least motivated players I've ever seen. He had all the talent in the world but didn't love the game. He loved the money and lifestyle. The best parallel I can think of is CV. TOR gave up on him like PHI gave up on a young, promising TT.

So Asik/Lin for Ersan/Jennings??? You can flip Asik for a SF.

God no! Jennings does not fit what a need and what the Rockets do. Much rather have Lin (not a Lin fan) and as much as I like Ersan Asik has more value. We downgrade on to fronts and it is just a terrible horrible wretched idea.

Not true. Jennings would be a great third banana and would play well with Howard and Harden. Ersan becomes the stretch 4 and Jones moves to 6. Jennings is much better than Lin. DMO and Ersan is a nice PF rotation.

It would be best if you not argue with Nebs on all things Jennings. He is also a big Houston fan, that's why he would like his boy there.

Not arguing with him. Just expressing my opinion on a terrible player that can't shoot, get to the rim, and can't defend (all of which Lin is better than him at). Anyways he is a chucker that can't ISO. But I need not worry Morey would never sign him or offer Asik and Lin for Jennings and Ersan.

Just can't argue against fandom

4 PGs for Denver now....anyone think Andre Miller could end up joining Ridnour to man the point?
Miller and Chandler or Hamilton would make sense for win now.

I wouldn't give up assets to get them.

Agreed. I don't think they're good enough anyway to make the Bucks a playoff team this year. Milwaukee needs to acquire a player who would be their best player. Otherwise, they're just going to be in nuetral until next offseason when they look for that big piece they couldn't get this year.

Miller & Ridnour are both too old & slow to keep up with small quicks Gs. Nate would have been good for that reason. Now I'd pursue Beaubois for that role.

Touche Baddy Serious question: Would Udoh be considered an asset in that type of deal?

Never bought into the Udoh love and never will, I don't view him as much of an asset at all. If Hammond wanted to add a few seconds for him I wouldn't care honestly.

I love Andre Miller, don't know what i'd give up for him, but he's a great PG no matter how old he is and it would be such a relief to watch compared to the "point guard" play we've been watching in recent years.

I was hoping for us to trade Moute for Andre Miller. Thought that had a sliver of feasibility.

Doubt Hammond ever picked up the phone.

The opportunity didn't "present itself."

This thing may not play out anytime soon. The last time Hammond was in this situation with a RFA he didn't blink while playing chicken with Ramon's agent. If memory serves, Ramon didn't sign an offer sheet until September. It's clear to me that Hammond is willing to take Brandon back on a fair deal otherwise it looks like we're ready to move on without him.

Mihai · Post #1439 » by **Mihai** » Tue Jul 23, 2013 7:53 am

This is boring. I hope something happens soon.

If we want to win now we should get Dragic somehow and throw money at Granger, if not, trade Ersan for young guys or draft picks.

Have to think it was a viable possibility last summer when Denver wanted Moute.

What should the Bucks do with Jennings?
