    I haven't seen the idea of Brandon Jennings tossed around (maybe I missed it?), but he's young, might be cheaper than the max, and would be a perfect fit for for this team, in my opinion. Word is that the Bucks probably won't match, to boot.

    I think if we let Delfino fly the coop, Jennings would give us a perfect three headed monster in the back court while still letting our young bigs develop. On top of that, he'd be cheaper than some of the other players being kicked around, which might leave open the possibility of bringing in one more all star.

    Your thoughts?

    It is not worth paying his price to bring him off the bench. No thanks.

    He is seeking the max. The reason you haven't seen his name tossed around here is because it is a terrible idea.

    as a 6th man I'd be interested if he's ok with that role

    and if he can decide to not dominate the ball

    I'm not a fan of volume shooters and I don't see how he'd make the team any better.

    Not interested. Awful player. Would rather stick with Beverly.

    N-O. He wants to start. We would only have a bench role for him. For the money and the production Delfino is plenty good.

    not worth it at all. lin seems to be a better playmaker and beverley is a good spark to have off the bench

    Jennings is a low IQ, extremely ball-dominant player who believes he's an all-star. Hell no. He honestly probably doesn't belong in the NBA.

    He wants a max contract as others have stated, and undeservignly so. He is good in transition, being fast and quick and has a decent jumper but is not a great decision maker and terribly innefficient. Honestly, I don't see how he is much better than Aaron Brooks.

    The last thing we need next to Harden is a pg who's even more ball dominant than Lin. At least Lin has accepted his role as the 2nd option. Jennings thinks he's a legit max player who should be #1.

    Brandon Jennings = Aaron Brooks (given more shot attempts)

    Lol...no. Not even worth the effort to find that clip from the Office or any other gif to express it.
