    I like Teague too but I think atl is happy with him. They have plenty of room to match any offer. Don't see them letting him go.

    I dont think Burke will be anything close to the project Rivers obviously is (if he even pans out)....he wouldnt step right in from jump street, but Burke's game appears much more NBA ready and I will go back to my notion that I would strongly consider relinquishing Rivers for the 10th pick in this upcoming draft....

    Burke's not a project at all. His game will translate very well.

    Someone will give it to him; it's not a stretch. He is avg 16pts 9reb and that's next to love who only hurts his reb numbers(I know he's been out). He has great post game. Is a huge body to bang with whomever. Will set great picks bc he is so wide. Will allow ad to roam. I just think he is one of the only true centers out there.

    There is too much Jennings talk in the pek thread.

    So? Doesn't have to be us. We're not desperate.

    "I don't know if people know — I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"

    8-9 mln per season. Still, with him and gordon we'd have one of the smallest back courts in the league and i don't like it one bit. They're far from being great rebounders, jennings is ball-dominant (if gordon doesn't have enough touches now with vásquez, how many more with jennings?) and neither is such a great passer.

    Still, better him than bledsoe, unless we magically pull out of the blue a 25+ppg sf

    Pek isn't going to break down in 4 years dude is a hybrid grizzly-train.
    Bledsoe is horrible laterly playing starting point guard

    Flipping Vasquez and Lopez for Bledsoe is a major step backwards for this organization.

  12. #37
    All of our bigs can shoot the midrange; even Lopez. We have obvious holes at pg and sf; we have no need for projects at this point. Brandon jennings is not the perfect player, but he is further along than Bledsoe who is somewhat overrated on this board. He can be very good, but he isnt close to where he needs to be yet running a team.

    Exactly. Pek is not a big enough upgrade over Lopez to give him that contract. The thing that sucks is that BJ (no pun intended) will probably be in the same boat paywise. He would command close to the max, but we need a PG that can at least stay in front of the elite guards and get stops.

    Agreed. I think we're more desperate for a quick one. But TBH I'd rather overpay for a 3 than either one. Vasquez and Lopez are ok gap fillers for the time being.

    Vazquez can run a team he just choses not to at times lol. Sf is our most desperate postion, but there is no one outside the draft im overly excited about.

    As far as Jennings goes, I'd be comfortable in the $10-12 range, mostly because we are going to have to go a little higher to steal him from Milwaukee. However, ideally, he's on a Ryan Anderson $8-9 mil/year contract.

    I would go up to 4yrs/40mil for Jennings, but there is no way he will accept it. Some team is probably going to offer him a max deal. A lot of teams will have money to spend this offseason and that always leads to ridiculous contracts.
    Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

    It doesn't matter, because the Bucks are gonna match whatever offer he gets

    I think the only way they might not match is via a sign and trade where you would have to take Gooden's horrible contract back. Even if you sign Jennings on a reasonable deal you would have to overpay in the end.

    Jennings... bet the farm and lock him up/force Milwaukee's hand.

    Do exactly what PHX did to us and hope the coin bounces the other way or his frustrations make the brass back down and let him go.

    If I'm not mistaken, can't we work out some kind of S&T, or is that not allowed under the new CBA in this particular situation?

    We did a S&T for Anderson. Would the Bucks be interested if we signed Jennings and traded them vasquez?

    I still can't believe we S&T for Anderson and only gave up Ayon.

    Yeah, I was hoping that was the case. I just couldn't remember if Ryno was RFA or UFA... thanks for clearing that up.

    I think we could definitely do this if MIL was interested in someone like Vaquez, Henry, or even Rivers... and maybe our 1st next year? I'd be willing to push the chips in to get Jennings and then draft a SF or another scoring wing in the draft. Sign me up.

    Edit: I'm assuming we could sign Henry to a new contract and then flip that deal just like they'd do w/ Jennings. If that's impossible... my B.

    I'm not sure if Anderson was RFA or not. I assume so.

    I wouldn't go as far as offer our 1st round pick. You don't get market value in a S&T.
