NBASupes Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I don't understand the people who wanted to get rid of Smoove but now want Jennings/Monta. At least Smoove could rebound, pass, and play great D. Honestly, he was in the same position as Horford. He cost too much to put him in the 6th man role and his defense was much too important to our team. It was more of Horford and him not meshing than anything else. I don't know why people want Monta but Jennings want is simple. His strength match our strengths. If we are building around Horford, why not get the PG to make his live a lot easier. Smoove like Jennings is a man with extreme talent and extreme flaws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitte Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) I think people confuse star potential and swag. Sure, Jennings has flashy plays but that's pretty much it. Edited July 11, 2013 by nitte 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member cam1218 Posted July 11, 2013 Premium Member Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I'm not a huge Jennings fan, but supes is right. Failing to compare his situation in MIL to what he'd be with in ATL is wrong. He'd be in a better place here.He would be a good fit here, this would be a good time to change and hope he refocuses his game. The psychology aspect in sports is often overlooked. These players have feelings and certain things that can trigger good or poor play. It's life for them too.I will say..Teague at 8 is better than Jennings at 12. I'll take Teague for 4 million less, but if the price is the same I'll take Jennings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plskeepbibby Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I thought we had a competent coach in Budenholzer, surely he will do a better job than Boylan or Skiles did coaching up a Brandon Jennings. If Brandon was coming to play with Woody or Drew I would be a little more worried. Maybe Budenholzer can rein him in a little bit. I'll stop here because I may be getting a bit optimistic to post on these boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bogut injuries took away their best player at setting screens and after that Milwaukee had to rely on BJ to be their #1 option on offense. It failed. They tried to bring in Ellis but Ellis and him couldn't mesh and it looked terrible. Milwaukee just didn't fit. It had nothing to do with coaching. He really improved under Skiles.

Admin Posted July 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Sorry I'm no computer who memorized each posters wants......though I do value your opinion over most here.I enjoy reading your thoughts. I wasn't criticizing you, just saying you probably hadn't seen my other posts about it. I feel like I've kind of beaten this topic into the ground over the past week and just want it to be over with. I also enjoy reading yours and value your opinion the same way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uuus Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I think Ferry and Bud will let Teague go to Milwaukee and attempt to bring in Jennings at a great price. Ferry and Bud have talked about wanting competitors in the past. That's what Jennings is. He has that fire in him. Teague seems too casual for our GM and coach's liking. Jennings is much more of a pure point guard with the competitive spirit in him. He was playing with garbage in Milwaukee and was able to take the Hawks to 7 games in 2010. There were a couple of games where he literally took over. I think you put him in the right system with better talent and his game flourishes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know losing Smoove was tough to swallow, AHawks, but glad you are still with us my friend. Edited July 11, 2013 by Ruckus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzachary Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Definitely match this deal. He's worth more now, and probably will improve now that our PF will make an outlet pass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was in the minority about Bibby but I still believe when Mike was here it was the most fun years of the past 6. Josh hasn't dunked as much since Mike hasnt been tossing the ball up for him to throw down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
