Damn. Him and Ray Allen were the reason I became a Bucks fan. So sad how badly injuries killed his career (and now, who knows about the rest of his life). He was an amazing young PG before the injury bug hit him. Hope he can get to the point where he can still enjoy everything in life. Back/neck injuries are no joke.

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)
The Milwaukee Bucks don't sound far from setting fire to their roster. Andrew Bogut is on the trading block for the first time since he joined the team in 2005 and now their young point guard could be as well.
Via SI.com:Sources said Milwaukee has made third-year point guard Brandon Jennings available "for the right price," as one executive who has spoken to the Bucks put it. Jennings, who was drafted 10th overall in 2009 and has been considered the team's future franchise player, irked Bucks officials with his comments to ESPN.com in early February about a possible departure.The question for Jennings is, what's the right price? You can be absolutely certain the price the Bucks have in mind isn't the one that other teams will be offering. We're talking a 22-year-old point guard that can score, is a career 38.5 percent shooter from the field. He's not a high assist man -- averaging 5.6 a game this season -- and definitely isn't a valued defender.
"I'm going to keep my options open, knowing that the time is coming up,'' he wrote in an e-mail to the Web site. "I'm doing my homework on big-market teams."
The comments made little sense considering the Bucks have most of the control over Jennings' future. Even if he declined an extension offer this summer, Jennings would be a restricted free agent in the summer of 2013 so long as Milwaukee issued the qualifying offer. Jennings could be an unrestricted free agent in 2014 if he signed the qualifying offer.
Jennings is a fine player, but he isn't going to fetch the kind of return on investment the Bucks are seeing. Which is why there's very little chance he actually is moved. The calls being put in for Jennings will be low-ball offers, trying to just gauge if the Bucks are mad enough at Jennings for his mouth to move him.
In terms of a franchise piece, Jennings isn't one. He's a nice point guard that scores in bulk, but often does it inefficiently. He's a worthy player to have as part of a bigger objective, but not the player to build around.
It's doubtful the Bucks actually move him this deadline, but the situation in Milwaukee appears to be teetering. Beyond Bogut and Jennings, there isn't much left to build around long-term, so the Bucks could be close to blowing things up.#RespectTheCultureComment

Remember when Jennings and Tyreke were putting up 50 point games and having great rookie seasons? How far they've fell off.....Originally posted by bradtxmaleI like 6 inches. Its not too thin and not too thick. You get the support your body needs.

Early Stages.
The Magic, Warriors and Hornets are in discussions on a three-team trade, two league sources confirmed.
Monta Ellis, Andris Biedrins and Dorell Wright would be sent by the Warriors to the Magic.
Ryan Anderson, J.J. Redick, Hedo Turkoglu and Quentin Richardson would be the main outgoing pieces from Orlando.
The Hornets' exact involvement is unclear, but believed to be centered around Chris Kaman.
No trade is imminent but talks are ongoing say sources.

Wow, that would be a great deal for the Magic.
Biedrins and Howard in the middle would be a scary combo defensively, and would definitely make them a more serious contender than they currently are. Ellis' explosiveness speaks for itself.
Nelson/Ellis/Wright/Biedrins/Howard.
I like that team. Just depth would be a question moving forward, but I'm sure that would be addressed.Comment

Re: Official POST-LOCKOUT Player Movement Thread (Trades, FAs, etc)
I don't know how this is going to work out.
What would the Warriors be getting back for Ellis that they deem worthy enough to match his level? And what would the Hornets be getting back for Kaman?
If Otis pulls this off then I have to give him some props. At least he'll have Monta Ellis when Dwight leaves....Originally posted by bradtxmaleI like 6 inches. Its not too thin and not too thick. You get the support your body needs.

Hornets? I have no clue. Watch Stern veto this.

I applaud Otis Smith for trying though because any other GM who had a player who didn't want to be there would've just said **** it and moved him.

Pre-emptive caution about all the rumors going around this week: 1) Everyone is talking to everyone.
