Jennings wants attention. He will not stay here so we should trade him for a big young talented player. Someone like Lemarcus Aldridge. Monta should be and is the leader of the team. Why not build around him?

Jennings is much younger and making great strides. The first step in attracting him/others to say and come here is hiring Mike D'antoni. If you saw the recent players pole, he got 21% of the votes of who players would like to play for. On the other hand, skills got about 20% of least favorite. Deal Monta before the draft since he won't stay and try to grab a top 10 pick for him and maybe pick up a contract in order to even it out cap wise. Then we would have 2 top 15 picks which i would love to see us grab either Jeremy Lamb, Dion Waiters, or Terrence Jones. Be smart with FA and don't overpay for Ilyasova. If he gets too much money for his worth, great then lets either slot Sanders in the starting PF/C while either one of our draft picks or Udoh fill in at PF/C. quit it with this mediocre 8th seeded team. I'M SICK OF IT! Also, how about we package Dunleavy(i love him) and someone else(whoever it may be) for a pick or a younger player. Dunleavy won't be around if/when this team is ready to contend so let him enjoy the rest of his career contending for titles with teams that need great 6th men. I would love to possibly dump Gooden's contract somehow(not very realistic). I would love to see this starting 5(2 top 15 picks because of trading Monta) : Jennings, Lamb(with our original pick), WHOEVER OUR SF MAY BE(Terrence Jones if we take lamb i doubt we get him with a pick, mbah a moute, Perry Jones possibly(a veteran analyst had him dropping to 18 overall), Saners. For Christ sake let TOBIAS and SANDERS and ALL THE OTHER YOUNG PLAYERS DEVELOP. Skiles gives them no PT and doesn't allow them to go through the learning/development part of the game until they should already be in their prime.

Also i don't really know how late Thab Melo could go, but if we could snag him in the 2nd round and let him develop and be a defensive role player for a year, he could be one of the best bang for your buck picks. he really transformed things last year, and he can probably do more on offense in the nba since he was playing on a STACKED Orange team. I would love to get 2 top 15 picks and then grab another 2nd rounder for dunleavy or a package of players. I would love to see the possibility of Lamb, Jones, Melo all ending up in Milwaukee if a team is willing to give up a top 10-12 pick for monta.

So you are trying to totally go with a young team. if we do that we wont be in contention for at least 2-3 years

Yes because that is how you have to do it at some point. We aren't a big market team so building a team through FA that will contend for several years will never be an option. Sitting at .500 every year is never going to get this franchise anywhere.

Is D'antoni a serious consideration

Not totally sure. He seems to be a favorite amongst NBA players, however that may be because nobody cares to play DEFENSE in NBA ball games anymore. I would like D'antoni if he would put more focus on the defense. The defense in NY was pathetic.

Did you watch the game last night against the 76ers? Tobias looked like he could really score the ball. I really hope by sometime next year our lineup is jennings ellis tobias gooden sanders.
