Well there is NO one in SL who is good enough to get water for BJ3?
I wanna see them package someone and go after Darren Collison in New Orleans?
Paul, is there franchise player. there gonna re-sign him, Collison is getting better and will command more money next year…it wouldn’t hurt to make a pitch?. Maybe we could lure Collison? If not…I want an international player!
I would do (Bucks BAE) + (Jackson) + (Moute or Ersan) for Collison
He’s a good PG, and I really think he could command more on the market!
New Orleans needs Cap relief and
Because we have this logjam @ the 4…we can afford it.
What do you say?
I don’t think there is a better PG out there right now…I don’t wanna see Diener or James…they both suck…they both are a waste of minutes…

We need DEPTH at the PG spot! We need someone “good” to fill that spot…no scrubs or has beens…Someone to CHALLENGE Jennings, someone “good enough” talent wise to be BREATHING down his neck for HIS job…that’s how GOOD we need to be at the back up! We can’t just do this to fill the roster spot! I know you guys are thinking Jennings is “Mighty Mouse” and everything…But if Jennings went down, which could EASILY happen because people will try to take him out because of his cockiness like last year, trying to mix it up with player’s like “Big Baby” who would flat out, knock him and his little ass the hell out!!!! Or the other scenario, he just won’t be durable enough to last for some reason!…Could we survive with Anthony Goldwire and Cliffton “Reese” Gaines type PG’s STARTING and in the back up spot?.. You guys will say we will make a trade if it comes down to that!…Why should we trade our wealth when we can get depth before the season begins for a much cheaper rate? I don’t know about the rest of you, but a waiver wire starter & back up is not going to help us!

Yes, CHALLENGE Jennings because I am sorry to say this…But Jennings is not that good YET…his ass got benched a lot last year in case you forgot! He started this year in a act of good faith by Hammond. Ridnour was BETTER during training camp! But HE GOT BENCHED when he would SCREW up which was a lot!
ESPECIALLY during the playoffs when he was going “0 for FOREVER” with broke assed jumper after broke assed jumper…Jennings, is being “SHELTERED” right now by Hammonds IN CASE YOU HAVEN’T NOTICED…because WE do not really know what we have with Jennings YET! That is why I would say something like that!
He was living off of his 55 point game nearly the whole year!

SHELTERED…yes, SHELTERED…because if we got a taller, stronger, more athletic point say a Darren Collison or a Roddy Beaubois on this team or even a vet via trade like Tony Parker…Do you think Jennings would be the starter on this team if he had to battle for his job? Ridnour was better than him during camp…He got the starter job as a way of Hammond being able to throw something at him in case he were to blow up and become good…it was all so that he can say that he took a chance on him!
If the BUCKS got some total scrub to back up the point…it would make our second team weak…and it would SHELTER Jennings from believing he actually sucked!

Alot of you guys are some “homers” when it comes to Jennings!

I own his jersey, but I will admit his flaws.

-He defense was horrible last year, he looked a lot like Dominic James RIGHT NOW, getting screened, and dumped by Big’s to the ground. He can’t stay in front of his man on D. He would get burned quite often!

- He was so prissy, he was scared to dunk on fast breaks! He was scared that he would get hurt. And realistically he would have trying to go up on anyone last year!

- He looked like TJ Ford without the handles, or the shot!.TJ could get to the hole! Jennings is small and weak, It was always “feast or famine” with him…he was never consistent all year. He even twittered about “Quiting his shooting”.. You loved him when he was hitting his shots…and couldn’t stand him when he was playing in the playoffs riding the pine because we couldn’t get a shot off for 8 minutes in a quarter like we did!
 Now tell me about Jennings!!!!!

I got something else I could say, rather than "Rookie’
We ran with what we had! Ridnour realistically WON the starting job last year, Ridnour is a back up on any other team.
Hammond did this all because if Jennings didn’t start opening night, Hammond would catch flack for his draft record, New York would have felt justified for taking Jordan Hill with the pick. And Milwaukee would have been on him like white on rice!

 In 2009…Keith Bogans… Left via free agency…Tyronne Lue…Left via trade…Ramon Sessions left because Hammond would match MIN offer sheet…Leaving only Ridnour and the pick up of drafting Jennings

Explain to me how Jennings got to start OTHER than how I broke it down…Frank, ban this dude…he needs to spend some more time @ Chammp’s Americana learning his Bucks trivia…not me…

You need “Hooked on Phonics”

Your a BJ3 homer. I explained why I think Gallon would make the opening roster over Sanders. I said because of his size, the logjam at PF, Gallon is the closest thing to Shaq we have
And I did not say that Ivey was better if you go back and read what I wrote!

Yes,

Because unless a trade is made… his growth would be impeded because he would get no minutes!
You can’t send Ersan or LRMAM back down to Ft. Wayne…Sanders is the only one at this point in his career who can go down… and BENEFIT from it…Sanders is raw…He is not ready yet…You need a PG and a C at this point…Gallon makes sense because of his size!

LRMAM is not going to go to the 3, we would have done it last year all ready if that were so…I feel he is better there..but it’s not going to happen..he is currently the BEST defender on our team! Larry Sanders is a project a year or two…who knows…because of our depth at the 4 he is not going to see any minutes…Hammond does NOT want a guy like Sanders playing only 7 minutes in game game…How will he develop seeing so little time?
He’s gonna go to Ft. Wayne because 235 is too small to play C…and Sanders is not a point!
Gallons got like 60 pounds on him…he looks more and more like he’s gonna get a roster spot because then we can use him to back up Bogut!
ENOUGH SAID

Maybe…Maybe not…Eastern conference has all the BIG monster center that will bang you if they can’t burn you…SHAG…Z…Dampier.. big centers are in our cenfrence…I would say we could possibly…though I am not certain..START Sanders if we were in the West!

Sanders like it or not…is the odd man out unless a trade is made… We got a problem at the PG spot…I don’t want a waiver wire filler player…I want someone who will CHALLENGE BJ3…so, I can END the discussion I am battling on the other end with all of these Jennings HOMERS…

Other picks taken in the TOP ten have been!
Like it or not he has that stigma on him to people who judge the careers of players.
Top 10 players have to BE good.
If not, there BUSTS…Jennings NEEDS competition!
Jennings needs a quality back up to make him prove his worth!

What’s wrong with making sure we get the things we need in a small market like milwaukee?
Why do we herald all of these so so players…and talk about them like they are Jordan?

Tell me this…Right now…with the skill set they have… (RIGHT NOW)
Jennings or Paul?
They are both TOP TEN PLAYERS…

That is why I would promote competition in the PG ranks if I were the Bucks…

Victor…make up a question that brings out peoples esteem?

Our back up to Jennings should be trying to take Jennings job at a moments notice because we are a small market like Milwaukee..I am not conviced YET that Jennings will be anything more than a good player…another one of those players in the tradition of Milwaukee history along the lines of like a Robinson, a Baker, Cummings…good players but NOT a star or TOP ten…like he was drafted!

It is the ECONOMICS…the size of the team we have, the marketability…and the desperate NEED for quality to COMPETE in this league when your a team like Milwaukee that makes this an issue…I feel Jennings is being carried right now, SHELTERED by Hammonds…and that is why he didn’t get the respect he got FROM THE LEAGUE. The numbers were not there, his skill level was not there! He did not win the starting job last year to Ridnour. (Hammond gave it to him!) Ridnour was a “good sport” and that is why he got REWARDED with the contract that he commanded from Minnesota! He did NOT wanna play behind Jennings, because if he did, he would have stayed. If I were Ridnour, I wouldn’t wanna play behind a guy that I beat out for the job during training camp! I shot a better FG% and I carried this team when Skiles BENCHED the rookie…why would I wanna play behind Jennings? (That is Ridnours thinking!)

We must remember no direct attacks on Marko or anybody else, no matter how badly we disagree with people.

Anyone see this article from HP? Good stuff about the Gooden signing.

Why woulkd you move for a bit extra cash to a team that will be totally crap, and still not be the starting PG?
I would think staying at a team that had a good last season and is building for perhaps a better one, that you would stay and hopefully be part of the success.

This is one aspect I don’t get about US sports, in Australian Rules Football, it is the exception, not the ruke that players will change clubs for more money, it will more likely that players will take a pay cut just to keep a successful team together, so they can extend their window of success.

For Luke to sign with Min and to be “still” the back up PG does not make any sense to me.

Maybe I am just a bit backward being from down under!
