I wouldn’t mind if they keep Jennings, he will keep them competetive……..BUT he hasn’t really shown the quarterback style of play that you think of on championship type teams. He is more of an individual talent than someone who brings the best out of his teammates. Maybe he will prove me wrong but personally I think it would be best if we trade Jennings now for the highest value and bring in Lin or Dragic. Those two are both high percentage shooters who really focus on utilizing talent around them. Better to have your most athletically talented players at the wing and small forward and have the PG focused on exploiting the best scoring opportunity through ball movement.

@ericbuenning @flyingking Brandon haters are going to hate regardless of whatever you throw at them.. doesn’t matter that he was the best PG from the ’09 draft last year statistically.. doesn’t matter that he was second in All-star voting behind D-Rose last year through the first quarter of the season.. doesn’t matter that he is just 22 and actually wants to be yhe face of the Bucks, who are getting no interest from other potential free agents.. none of this matters to the haters

@flyingking So, the 06-08 Bucks teams were better than this one? They combined to go 54-110 those two seasons.

Also, it probably helps to have teammates and champions like Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen. You can’t compare BJ’s situation to Rondo’s.

@flyingking So the 06-08 versions of the Bucks were better than this current one? Those two seasons, the Bucks combined to go 54-110 those years.

I’d imagine it also helps to have Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett on your defending champion team. You can’t make that comparison with BJ.

Take off your rose-colored glasses.
This guy is not an all-star. He is not a top 30 player. He is too small and too weak. He has had enough time. Rondo was twice as good at this point. The only thing he has is a willingness to sign with the worst bucks team i’ve seen in the last 15 years. We will overpay for him, and probably ersan, too. And they will both suck even more, based on their higher paychecks. The Bucks need to finish dead last and get a real superstar pick. Now .Meanwhile the Eastern teams that already made the playoffs keep getting better.

Amen…I think a major contributor to Jennings rise in production last year was that he put on about 12 pounds of muscle. If he can get a little bit bigger and start getting more whistles on his drives he will be scoring 20 ppg. His low assist numbers for a point guard dont bother me if the Bucks share the ball as well as they did last year. And the talk of his work in the community is the real kicker for me, the guy does actually seem to enjoy Milwaukee he has great charisma…I say give the man close to the max deal on his extension, Bucks franchise needs a face, for awhile it was Redd and now it’s Jennings

I just don’t get the mentality that we can’t move the contract if it doesn’t work out.. Hec they traded Joe Johnson’s terrible contract and Brando had better numbers than Joe last year.. But I am a fan of #3 and he is good for Milwaukee as an ambassador and does seem dedicated to the Bucks now more than ever

Couldn’t agree more with this. The only way you can get stars in Milwaukee is through the draft and when you get them, you keep them. Well, the Bucks track record of finding stars in the draft is abysmal. But Jennings appears to have all the characteristics. He has swagger, charisma. You can see the competitive fire in him. Only the Bucks track record of doing the wrong thing keeps me from being optimistic about us getting an extension done. Any competent organization locks this kid up and makes him the signature face of the franchise.
