Interesting article (despite being of BR) about Jennings

[Pharaoh]

I know ill get heat for this but if all else fails I wouldnt mind stuckey at pg over jennings,at least stuckey can handle the ball,pass,and play defense,and the size.

I've actually had the same thought...I then proceeded to slap myself until my face and hands were beet red

Jennings is a moron but I'm hoping SVG can "fix" him. He has a lot to learn! For a kid with his tools he should really learn to pick his spots and defer to others most of the time.

If we start Dre, Monroe, Singler & KCP with him we should be running PnR most of the time with our bigs. Jennings needs to read the D better and not settle for calling his own number....there's no harm in pulling it back out and running the PnR again

He's easily frustrated offensively IMO. And on D its like he doesn't know how to play the angles. If a guy likes to go right then force him left, use the sideline & baseline as extra defenders...it's basic stuff really.

Throw in the fact we have Drummond as a potential rim protector and it's easier to funnel guys to him...but you can't let them penetrate through the middle! That's suicide.

Stuckey passes? :-p

Only Joe Dumars goes and signs Charlie V and Brandon Jennings when literally not one team in the entire league was interested in either

whats interesting is we got them both off the Bucks. Kinda makes it look like John Hammond played him.
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Hammond must be laughing his ass off over how gullable JD is.

As for Stuckey... I'd take him over Jennings. But that's in a vacuum. Not gonna pay Stuck while Jennings is under contract.

We should sign Vasquez to a two year deal this offseason to take over starting duties. He should come somewhat cheap and is better then Jennings. Then Jennings and Vasquez will be a expiring contract after next season and we can try to find a long-term soution.

He would have to be Jesus to make Jennings look like he's playing adequate defense.

Little known fact. Jesus was actually a high school JV coach back in the day. Couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag. He got canned and that's when he began to look into the whole messiah thing.

I second this notion.

I say send Jennings to the D-League until he tries to get better.

I'm confident SVG will fix the Jennings situation. He didn't make the trade to get him, nor is he a coach that works for a GM that did it either. So if Jennings doesn't start anymore, it isn't going to make SVG lose any sleep. Although we still have a problem of who will start if Jennings doesn't.

The other problem is trade value. What if the plan is to trade him? We got to play him, otherwise his value will even get worse. Tough situation.

Hammond's a loser himself. He has done nothing positive with the Bucks

Last year he goes out and signs Sanders and Mayo to big deals and his team STILL loses more games than a Sixers team which had the longest losing streak in league history.

I'm warming to the idea of trading away Monroe IF we could piggyback Jennings out as part of the deal (second trade needed of course). I'm just that down on Jennings, and think Smith is a top 15 PF in the league if he started here.

I just think Jennings will be so detrimental to the development of Drummond and even KCP that getting him out of town is priority #1.

which only makes it worse. We've been getting fleeced by the worst **** team in the league lol. How bad do you have to be to let the Bucks bend you over?? Joe Dumars bad.

We need to bring in a viable replacement. Lowry, Vazquez, Livingston, Mills, Isaiah Thomas, Collison are all varying degrees of options. I do believe Jennings is salvageable and he did seem to be the one guy who bought in to Cheeks, but we need someone breathing down his neck/capable of putting him on the bench.

Vasquez would be an awesome addition to the team. He's got size being 6'6". He can pass, his only season as a starting pg he averaged 9 assists. The guy can shoot it from distance and take it to the hole. He at least competes and plays hard on D, which is more than I can say for Mr. Jennings.

I really like the first three. Lowry is a pitbull coming into his own. My only concern is it took him this long to accept coaching, I'm wondering if he would bristle against SVG sometimes overbearing coaching.

Vasquez I like a lot. He has played and been THE GUY in college. He has played and been a force off the bench on a playoff team (Memphis). He's been a starter in New Orleans. He's been productive in limited minutes in Toronto. He reminds me a little of Jon Berry in the Bench Mob days. He's not as explosive as Manu, but he can be a bit of a wildcard effecting the game.

Livingston is a solid solid game controller. He has miraculously regained some of his athleticism. His size allows him to play three different positions. He's a classic throwback, a pass first pg. I definitely have this guy on my wishlist.

I think Vasquez will be looking for certain stability after his vagabond NBA career up to this point. I think he's signed to a contender for their full MLE on a four year deal - he's a great fit for the Heat or SA for example.

Or OKC...Vasequez played High School ball with Kevin Durant

Or a team looking to be in Durant FA sweepstakes will overpay Vasquez then to have that as a lure of sorts.
