    The rumor now is that Jennings is available, and Milwaukee wants to get rid of Bogut and Captain Jack. Is Jennings worth taking on those two shitty contracts? He's young. He's dynamic. Obviously he's not Deron Williams or Rondo, but he's a lot better than what we have now.

    Would Milwaukee do Bogut, Jennings, Jackson for Camby, Felton, Crawford? They clear a shit ton of cap off their team, but we don't give back much else.

    I like Jennings, but he'll be in a Laker uniform next season. He's from Compton and grew up worshipping the Lakers. Its a match made.

    Didn't he already state that he'd rather be in a larger market? I think he said he wasn't 100% set on leaving Milwaukee, but wanted to explore LA/NY/etc.

    I don't think it is....

    I think Jennings wants to go to a big market....Not a huge fan of either Bogut or Jackson...

    I love this trade. I don't think it is enough to get it done though. I think they will want a pick as well.

    He has two years remaining before he's a RESTRICTED free agent. Fuck that guy. He has no leverage.

    He's another egomaniac who puts lifestyle over basketball.

    Look at how that has worked for the Knicks.

    The "big market" comments make me think he'd be awfully unhappy here. Nice enough talent, but probably not worth it (and I don't think we even have the pieces necessary to get him?)

    I don't want bogut. Is there a way to get Jennings without bogut? I just don't know if I can stomach another big with major injury problems. If there wasn't injuries, I'd jump on it faster than a toothless whore jumping on a ten spot.

    Well, to be fair, he IS playing in Milwaukee. I would kill myself if I had to live in Wisconsin with all those Cheese Heads.

    They want to clear cap space. Bogut and Jax are on pretty big contracts. It would kill our cap space, but if Bogut could get healthy, the team could be pretty good.

    Jennings
    Batum
    Jackson
    Aldridge
    Bogut

    Yes a healthy bogut would be a solid compliment to Aldridge, but with our luck we would be having news about his next rehab and surgery. I don't think this fan base can take another hit like that.

    What are you talking about? This fan base is used to be players being injured. If anything, we'd just be like, "oh well.... another injured center." lol

    Milwaukee is actually not too bad ... and it's practically part of Chicago.

    I've stayed in Chicago.... It's a shit hole. I'd rather live in Portland. We don't get that muggy weather.
