I hope Brandon Jennings..

Play your role this season, then kindly depart because we'd rather have the cap space.

I can't get past the 39% shooting. The season is canned. Just have to get through 2.5 months of this. Pray for free agency miracles.

Indifferent, because I know he's generally not good and we'll probably still resign him because Skiles gets what Skiles wants when his buddy Martins (who doesn't know basketball) can overrule the GM (who does).

Yea. that's a little bit of a red flag...

Trade for a guy shooting sub 40%...
Most peoples reactions... "Yea!, now we have a PG that can shoot!"

man...

I'm most looking forward to seeing Ilyasova in a Magic uniform...he should fit in well. I've always admired his game. That combined the addition by subtraction of the cousins...it should be interesting to see how the rest of the youngins respond.

Jennings is just a wildcard worth taking a flyer on IMO.

I'm starting to come around on the Harris salary dump...
It was a mistake from day one when harris signed that contract.

Taking a flier on Jennings is alright, for a player that you don't want.

I just hope Jennings helps us win games, and doesn't compromise Elf's confidence at all. Pretty simple, really.

Jennings as a scorer off the bench could be big for us. We need more production from our bench units.

Even if Skiles snaps and starts Jennings over Elf, I hope that allows Elf the opportunity to play as more of a scorer off the bench? He'll get running time with Mario, which wouldn't be a bad thing, because Payton/Mario/Gordon are the future core of the team.

I expect Jennings to ball with us. I want to see him in form, with all his flaws. Dude rekt us. But can you imagine the chemistry he could have with AG00 with those lobs? OH BOY

If elf loses confidence then he's not as ready to lead as we thought. Instead, I hope Jennings' competitiveness lights a fire under elf and he turns it up more consistently. That would be ideal moving forward because elf is an entirely different player when he's fully engaged.
