Trade Brandon Jennings to the Milwaukee Bucks

The up and coming Milwaukee Bucks haven’t been able to make the jump in their development; however, they’re still just one game out of a playoff spot. While the Greek Freek and the Bucks have plenty of young talent, they’re deprived of a true scoring point guard. A reunion with Brandon Jennings could be a solid short-term solution.[sc name=”Knicks Center Right” ]

While not a top flight point guard, Jennings is an uptempo scoring guard who can put the ball in the cup. Jennings is averaging 14.8 points game for his career and is also a facilitator. He’s currently averaging five assists a game. If he were to join the run and gun Bucks, he wouldn’t be relied on to be the go-to scorer. He could be a third or even fourth option being forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, shooting guard Khris Middleton and even big man Greg Monroe. He’d also be a facilitator for them, as such a player could do wonders for them. So what’s in it for the Knicks?

Despite his solid production, Jennings is unlikely to resign with the Knicks this summer given the direction the franchise is going in. The Knicks would be wise to get something for him while they can.

In a Jennings deal, the Knicks could take back the expiring contract of Roy Hibbert as well as the Bucks 2017 and 2018 second round picks. Such a move could give the Knicks some more assets if they were to put together a trade package in the future. That’s the same reason why Derrick Rose should also be dealt.
