I know what he tweeted after but for him to say he's "looking into big market teams" is concerning. Same old same old I guess.

Jennings told Broussard, "I'm going to keep my options open, knowing that the time is coming up. I'm doing my homework on big-market teams."

are the bucks willing to give him a max deal?

Not sure, Herb Kohl the owner goes back and forth on selling the team, not selling the team. But... I would think they would although Bogut just signed his 5 year deal last year that cannot be cheap.

They would have to be mental to even think about it.

Why would they be mental? The guy has gotten better every year.

Brandon, Philadelphia meets your criteria. Thank you.

A max deal? Are you serious?

[aaafluochugh]

He's shoot-first PG who is a career 39% FG shooter. Max money for him would be ABSURD.

Its not like Jennings is as bad of sign as Redd. If the Bucks lose Jennings the franchise is completely sunk. It just sucks that a franchise like the Bucks really can't even compete for the NBA Finals. Making the playoffs is the best a Bucks fan can hope for.

If youre only looking at #s and %s, youre right.

No, but I'l go something like 5/50.

The Bucks are shit without him, last year proved that. He's gotten better and better.

Just because a team would be much worse without you doesn't mean you should be a max player. Those are the kind of deals that got the league in so much trouble over the last decade.

I think whoever said 5/50...that seems much more appropriate.

This.

Jennings is not a max contract guy.

At this point.

He may become that by the time his contract is actually up. Probably not, but it's not an unrealistic possibility at this point, especially with the improvement this season.

[snislarne]

Jennings is top PG, deserves to get paid.

[replicaypu]

As to the original thing, dude is one of the few people to say he genuinely likes Milwaukee(the city) and doesn't believe stars will avoid playing there if they win.

Huh? If the team sinks without him, doesnt that kind of make him invaluable to them?

[snislarne]

Brandon, Philadelphia meets your criteria. Thank you.

Not really.

No. The goal is to win a championship. Giving him a max contract could quite possibly hinder that goal, even if they stink by letting him go.
