How much would you pay Jennings?

I would give him $10 mil a season. If Rondo is getting $11-$13mil a season (as the new "man") I see no reason why you pay Jennings more than that (when we have 3 other "men" on the team).

Good question. Think it should be broken down into 2 parts:

How much you would be willing to pay : I think 9 per year with 10 % increases per.
How much you think it'd take for Milwaukee to not match: probably about 13 perseason

Absolutely nothing above 10 million a season.

I'm not even that convinced Jennings is a fit here.

I'd rather throw big money at Pekovic and use Lopez and/or Smith to acquire a wing or point.

To answer the question, $11 million is about market, and he could outplay that. It'll take $14m for them not to match, maybe less if they do S&T.

What do you think that they would they want in a sign and trade?

i'd rather Al Jefferson

Absolutely agree with you. Word is that not everyone in Minnesota thinks pek is worth the 12 he will command. Ad and pek is a monstrous big lineup.

I'm also thinking he's not the right player either for that team or next to Gordon. For what I've seen he's a volume scorer and I think he's got a big ego. Not worth $10M or more for sure.

Not much more than whatever the MLE is. I just don't see him as being a game changer and warranting more than that. :shrug:

I would go for Jennings over Pek. Pej is fine, but we need a pg, not a big. this draft is big heavy, and pg light, so pg and Jennings would be the best bet. Pek is finally starting to come on at age 27, and this is his prime. He will break down towards the end of that contract, while Jennings is still young enough to learn new tricks, and get better.

Me either dude. I'd rather draft a PG or just find a better vet backup to GV than shell out the money it's gonna take to land BJ without the Bucks matching.

I'd rather throw that money at Pek.

Burke and Pek

What big do you take at 6-12 if Zeller (likely) and Len (likely) are gone and Burke/Smart are staring you in the face?

THIS.

So Hard this. :hihi:

If we give them a number they don't like (let's say twelve), I think they'd do it for Vasquez or a similar asset class (Jason Smith). Not sure whether I'd like that for that price, as I love the idea of Vasquez running a second unit and think that's a slight overpayment contract-wise for Jennings.

He's going to get the max somewhere. he's probably next up on the list for all-star replacements if another member of the east cant play

I would actually go with Plumlee or Stein as a big, or trade back and get Jeff Withey or Rudy Gobert. I mean if Zeller and Len are both gone, then either Noel, Bennet, Muhammed, or McLemour havent been drafted yet, and in that case we should go BPA.

As for a pg, I wouldn't take either of those guys if they were still on the board. I would go Trey Burk or CJ McCullum over either of those two you mentioned.

I still like the idea of Jeff Teague being here, but can anyone provide an accurate comparison between Jennings and Teague defensively?

I like Jeff Teague as well, and think a change in venue would help him. Signing him would probably be cheaper than Jennings, but its like getting the off brand of Tide or something.

I am not convinced that Teague would be an "off brand".....it seems to me that he is just more efficient offensively than Jennings....

My move would be to offer 12 to pek in FA. If we get him. I would then Flip vaz and Lopez for Bledsoe after cp3 resigns with clips. Draft Bpa (hard to say depends on who is there when we pick; would love mclemore, shabazz, or Burke). Pick up Corey brewer. Attempt to get budinger. Not opposed to resigning aminu for 2-3.

Pek isn't going to break down in 4 years dude is a hybrid grizzly-train.

Good point. I probably should have used 8-12 :hihi:

Not a big, but Otto Porter makes entirely too much sense for this team given that SF is an enormous hole. Terrific rebounder and passer for position, arguably the best midrange shot in this draft, extended his range (45% from 3), long, smart and active defender who fills up the stat sheet, very high basketball IQ. Not a sexy pick, but fits unbelievably well, will play from day one, and will play for a long time. That's what I want in the mid lottery.

I love Porter, no complaints there.

You guys are kidding about that much money for Pek right ?
