I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking Jennings would be unreliable in terms of scoring efficiently, but his passing ability has always been one of his biggest strengths. He'd definitely be able to get the ball to Rip where he needs it.

If Pharaoh had Brandon Knight instead then Rip may have some trouble, but for all his faults Jennings is a true PG.

That's why I took him!

His biggest strength is being able to actually run an offense

After Zeke, Joe, Chauncey and RJ I think BJ is it.

Rip is one of the best SGs this franchise has ever had...

Team them with Ben (& KCP)....why do you think I drafted so many forwards?

For whatever reason my team buiding (or explaining) wasn't up to the task...and that's cool with me.

When's the next round begin?

We need Warspite to vote on the Han Solo / Lionlifer matchup.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Lifer is ahead 3-2.

Really? Now that it's over?

And for the life of me I just don't see it!

Dre ain't doing nothing with Ben on him

Sheed never put a team on his back offensively and has to contend with an extremely good defensive rotation...

So does DeBus

I neutralise that frontcourt while my backcourt dominates!

I really don't see how I'd lose a 7 game series with a team that is so close to the Going to Work Pistons
