Couldn’t agree more. All of the speculation has been that we would keep Jennings as long as we have a shot at the playoffs. I’ve watched every game this season and Im pretty sure our chances are just as good with a healthy Beno starting at PG.

There appears to be a few new hires for Bucksketball, the website must be doing well.

Great Article!

Im hoping for some real plan or sense of direction, and hopefully that means cashing out on BJEllis!

We might be the 6th seed in the conference but we’re nearly at the bottom of the league for ticket sales. Kohl thinks playoffs automatically means more team interest and more revenue, but maybe he will get the message that having a legitimate face of the franchise is more important as far as public interest is concerned. Its certainly more important as far as potential to contend goes.

^^sorry, got a little redundant with the “we can still make the playoffs” thing.

We can still make the playoffs! Dang it!

I think this is one of the best articles written all season on this blog! Can’t agree more with all 4 points.

My thoughts, just to add to #2, I wish there was some crystal ball to see what Jennings true intentions are, because I would hate to see him and get nothing (Call it the Prince Fielder dilemma). Honestly, Sometimes I think with a healthy Beno & Monta (shooting well & at least for the rest of this season) we can still make the playoffs this season and trade Jennings for a HIGH draft pick (aka; Washington, New Orleans, etc)….a shot at a possible “future superstar,” not just guys with good/great upside in the future AND I bet we could still make the playoffs….thus keeping people (mildly interested for the sake of the city and managements efforts for a new arena) and without blowing everything up to smithereens. This kind of ties into #1 as well. That’s a wish I don’t see Santa (Kohl/Hammond) bringing though.

If we lose Jennings and/or Ellis, Beno is a MUST-SIGN in the offseason, and I think he always makes a compelling argument as to why he deserves to be a starting point guard.

I agree wholeheartedly. #1 thing on the wish list is a sense of direction. Either we go for it all, or we start the fire sale and get rid of everyone except henson, sanders, harris, udoh, LRMAM, & Lamb. If we end up starting a fire sale, maybe Santa will come late and surprise us with a top 10 pick in June, sort of like a Half-Christmas present (Workaholics reference). Either way, as Bucks fans, let’s just hope for a sense of direction and a better idea of where we need to go with this franchise.
