BRANDON JENNINGS TO THE PISTONS!@#

[Glenn]

Was tweeting with Hermy and he thinks Joe will hold onto Stuckey and CV and let them expire to assist in re-signing Monroe.

[Koolaid]

Brandon Knight and Brandon Jennings are basically the same player. Knight a little more heart on defense, Jennings better at distributing to team mates.

[MoTown]

Isn't Jennings a very me-first type of player? If that's the case, this doesn't really solidify my commitment to come back to the Pistons....

[Glenn]

Joe really needed to consider 'the wooing of MoTown' before making this deal.

MoTwon thinks Jennings is a WARRIOR.

he has been a chucker for all his career, doesn't necessarily mean he'd be one here though.

So JD pulls down his pants and gets a BJ?
I suppose it beats eating too much BK.

We have an immediate need for a backup C.

We have an immediate need for a backup C.

Goodshill was talking Oden last night.

We're over the cap now, though.

You guys, I think Billups is really gonna turn Jennings into a great PG. So happy Chauncey's back, you guys.

Fucking, No.

Most important to note, and I'll lead with this, he actually draws defensive attention.
Something Knight hasn't done the entire time he has been here.

Jennings can operate as the ball handler in the pick and roll, find the angle, and then attack it.
Knight has not displayed ability to do so. He always looks tentative, picking bad spots to attack, and disrupts plays.

Jennings has play making ability in the passing game.
Knight rarely displays any of this.

Jennings can finish with his dominant hand against half court defense.
Knight is only a good finisher in transition.

Jennings has a step back jumper to operate as the shooter in a pick and roll.
Knight is a spot up/transition shooter that shoots poorly off the dribble.

Jennings can make separation for his shot in traffic
Knight can only shoot out of the offense.

Jennings can ball-hawk defensively, and has consistently grabbed steals his entire career.
Knight has never had any tangible effect on defense, aside from being excellent at sagging-off and appearing to be giving great defensive effort while never really altering shots or forcing turnovers.

Other reasons.
Jennings is better free throw shooter.
Jennings is quicker and more agile.
Jennings is confident (for better or worse) in his ability to be a scorer.

Knight is taller.


Is Bubbles Happy? Yes, fucking absolutely. We acquired a middle of the pack NBA starting PG that can run pick and roll with out bigs and get his own shot and we traded 2 role players and a D leaguer to get it. Everyone likes to ballwash Brandon about having all of this untapped potential, fuck that noise, Jennings has FAR more potential at every single facet of the game except for defense (size) and in that area he is already more productive anyway. Best of all, I don't have to listen to Piston fans ballwashing this fucker anymore. Fucking Joey Harrington of the Detroit Pistons bullshit.

As for not having a backup C. Most teams don't even have a Center, let alone two of them, So I think we'll be fine. Mitchell has way more upside and should be getting that burn.
