Rumor is the Bucks are open to trading Jennings, and this Bleacher Report article included us as a possible destination.

Milwaukee Acquires: PG D. Augustin, $2.32 million trade exception, No. 19 pick, No. 39 pick

Charlotte Acquires: PG B. Jennings, SG J. Salmons, PG K. Dooling

Your thoughts? I personally like this trade, or at least trading for Jennings. We would keep #9 and going off straight bias here I happen to love Brandon Jennings (hence the avatar) thus would love him here.

Have a feeling a lot of you will call him a headcase, but I think this kid has real talent.

I'd rather have him than Augustin, but that price is too steep IMO

I see what you mean, but I'm sure you could swing a Salmons-for-Okur or something similar, that would at least put the overpaid guy at a position of need.

If you put Stephen Silas with Brandon, he could be an All-Star, easily.

Jennings/Hendo/Jack/Tyrus/Okur with Diaw as the 6th man would be a very, very good lineup.

that is slightly better than an 8 seed, maybe.

Just put him on the floor when the Bobcats are playing and he's an all-star. In 7 games against the bobcats, he has scored less than 19 points...once. He's averaged 22 pts, 6.6 assists, 5.4 rebounds and 1 triple double vs. the Cats.

I would do that trade NO DOUBT.

Basically our draft could be Brandon Jennings and Alec Burks/Kawhi Leonard/Marcus Morris/etc......sounds great to me.

Our core could be Hendo/Jennings/Tyrus and that's better than DJ/Hendo/Tyrus because Jennings is already a semi star and DJ isn't that far from his ceiling to be honest.

Getting Jennings would be nice but Salmons being owed something like 32 million would make the trade a nonstarter for me.

Yeah Salmons' contract is bad, but some form of trade for Jennings that wouldn't lock us down with a contract like Salmons' or Gooden's would be great. Diaw's expiring could come into play.

No.

Going from DJ to Jennings is like going from a Honda to a Lexus.

[SWedd523]

Technically Lexus is Toyota, so there isn't much of a difference


Salmons' contract makes it a no deal from me. They're looking to trade Jennings, not the other way around. We'd be in the position of power, so there's no way they pawn that contract on us and take two draft picks with a good PG.

The upgrade from DJ to Jennings isn't enough to make it worth losing the picks and taking Salmons.
