Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
This is all on Josh Smith, Jennings is not the problem


No, they are a package deal of awfulness, you can't have a PG like Jennings when you have a team with Drummond/Monroe, the sad part is Brandon Knight is much more inline with the type of player they need and Dumars traded him for a lesser player.

Jennings is a backup player that has tricked people into letting him start.

No Brandon knight is not what they need. He couldn't even make a entry pass to the post when he was here homie is a turnover machine and not a good passer.

And yet, he's the PG on a younger team that is better than the Pistons. He's a better player than Jennings and he's younger than him ontop of it.

Knight just turned 23 today, a little more patience should have been shown to him, especially since the guy playing in Milwaukee right now is better on both sides of the ball than Jennings. You should have kept him and gone after Monta Ellis if anything, you picked the wrong Buck to trade for :yeshrug:

Folks weren't trying to hear me on Brandon Knight. Son only had 1 year of college and was basically learning the pg position on the job. He's improved every year :manny:

But Stan is fukking up, Josh Smith getting 20 shots a game is not going to cut it (I just assume Stan is in tank mode)

Its not hard to be on a better team than the Pistons, you should look and see what teams they've beaten before you talk like the bucks about to make some noise:mjpls:

I'm not a fan of either player but Jennings is putting up the same numbers as knight with less turnovers.

Pistons need a real pg to help Drummond develop. Not a shot chucker Jennings or a combo guard like knight.

They beat Memphis, who have the Pistons beat? The Bucks are a younger team, they have more potential moving forward and Knight plays a part into their future.

Knight can actually play defense, and he's less prone to shooting his teams out of games with step back 20 footers :russ: Their numbers are close on face value, the difference is Knight's ability to play defense (104 defensive rating to 108 :scusthov: ) and he can play off the ball which Jennings cannot do. I'll take the combo guard that can play defense over Jennings anyday of the week, you were adamant about getting Trey Burke right? And he fukking sucks, no different than Jennings.

The problem with your statement is Brandon Jennings is actually playing pretty well this year and has a higher PER (and I didn't think Detroit should have gotten rid of Knight). I know you probably hate Jennings more than any person on the planet and I don't think he is a great PG by any means but he's very solid this year, this team's issues start with Smith. I felt Joe was ok signing Jennings but adding Smith was the issue when you have Monroe already.

Actually if you've watched Jennings this year he has played decent off the ball spot up shooting.

10 wins and 3 of em against the Pistons and then you add in philly and the Knicks and pacers and thunder :stopitslime:. Burke is struggling but clearly you didn't see knight in his 2nd year.

Knight is better off the ball by a wide margin, Jennings is still the same chucking clown he's always been.

Ok, they've beaten the Pistons 3 times and that is supposed to be a bad thing? The Bucks are one of the youngest teams in the league and they still scored a win over a quality opponent like the Grizz, you can't diminish that if you tried.

Burke is struggling, even though he played 2 years in college and has a more offensively talented team than Knight had. Nevermind the fact he can't guard anyone, much like Jennings :yeshrug:

This is actually good...enough of that 30-52, 8th spot in the draft bullshyt. Let the bottom fall out, get a top 3 pick, get rid of the dead weight and anybody that doesn't wanna be here and start fresh with an actual direction and purpose. You can't judge SVG until he has had the chance to put his imprint on this team.
This is accurate. Will never pick up a franchise player in free agency being in Detroit. Gonna have to draft one and these 7-8 picks in the draft aren't cutting it. I mean sure they got Drummond but they need more and wasn't gonna get it with the same level picks they were getting. The bottom needed to fall out.

Josh; BJ, and a 2018 top 10 protected pick to the Lakers
Good trade for both sides, it ensures tanking for the Lakers and a future pick, while Pistons have a ton of cap space. Both sides would do that trade now as we speak.

Kobe, Young, Jennings, and Josh on the same team is the stuff that dreams are made of :wow:. That said why exactly would the Lakers do this? They can get that top 5 pick rather easily without those guys. All a trade like that does is put that pick at risk, because all those nikkas might fukk around and gel enough to not completely suck, while putting cap dollars (Smith's contract) on the 2016 books and there is no telling what will be going on in 2018. If Stan could pull a move like that of then he deserve Exec and Coach of the Year and instant HOF induction.

Switch that pick to a top 5 protected 2016 pick and the Lakers budge. If the Lakers don't want to fukk up the trade, do that on draft night. Pistons can extend Moose and throw the max at Rondo(only way for Detroit to sign him).

Once again, how does this benefit the Lakers? They are gonna throw away a top 5 pick for this year for a couple knuckleheads that you can't build around but that are good enough to keep you from completely sucking, for non top 5 pick in a year? :wtf: If extending Moose was on the table, it would have been done by now. Dude took a fukkin' qualifying offer (nikkas never do this) just so he can get out of town quicker :heh:. Rondo not coming here and even if he did what good would that really do? KG, Pierce and Allen are not walking through that door. Striking gold in the draft is really this team's (as well as every other team that isn't in a glamour market) only hope.
