"I am going to keep my options open, knowing that the time is coming up,'' Jennings said in an email interview. "I'm doing my homework on big-market teams.''
What do you guys think of the Bucks PG? He has improved his overall FG% each of the season's he's been in the league thus far... though how could he not with that low of a starting point?
Currently a (short) career high of 42% from the floor in 2011 but still a long way to go before he's a legit force. He gets his right now through volume, not quality, shooting.
I bring this up because as a PG he's not efficient as a scorer and he's not efficient as a facilitator either (2.4 A/T ratio ranks 25th in the league). Yet it sounds like he wants a big money, big market move.
So where would be a good spot for him to land? What does he need around him to improve his game? What can he do to make others around him better?

I wouldn't be very interested in him... He's a pretty inefficient offensive player as stated, and he's certainly a below average defender. Bogut would cover up a lot of his defensive mistakes or gambles, Drew Gooden not so much...

Jennings just kept jacking up the 3's late against Orlando last Friday...clink, clink, clink; 0-4 overall shooting, turnovers, bad passes and more.
We had the Bucks +7.5 and I bet +8. Fortunately bet the 'under' too. Milwaukee leads by 8 with less than six minutes remaining...then goes 0-11 FG to finish the game without scoring a single point. Orlando finishes on a 17-0 run to build their largest lead of the game and win by 9...94-85 Don't believe it gets much worst than that... 
Here was my writeup on the game with a contrary approach. Perhaps the Bucks will be better and get their redemption at home tonight vs. the Magic.
The shortened season has created many scheduling and travel situations to consider more closely. Along with teams current level of play and line adjustments, it can become more difficult when trying to determine a team’s consistency in play. As the season wears on, the 3 games in 4 nights and 5 games in 7 nights like this situation for Orlando will take its toll even more. Combined with the scheduling situation with Orlando’s upcoming 5-game road trip that starts with Miami on national TV Sunday, and we’re not likely to get the Magic’s best performance tonight. Know too that the Magic will play at Milwaukee again next Monday and they just beat the Bucks last weekend for the fourth straight time. Milwaukee comes off 3-straight losses at home, is 1-7 ATS their last eight games and can’t think many bettors will feel good about backing the Bucks here. The Bucks have lost their way recently while playing with little passion and less competitiveness. And that’s surprising considering that’s what drives their coach, Scott Skiles. Milwaukee is the contrary side to support, but with Orlando off 3-straight wins and making 3’s in bunches, a letdown is looming and the Bucks should bounce back with a big effort tonight.

And to make matters worse they were passing up 3 point shots before a foul was called which led to whatever Sanders was doing. 'Fear the Deer' is becoming a very distant memory.

Remember Fear the Deer?? Outstanding defense, good enough offense. Then the made the bad decision to bring in Corey Maggette, to get out of that move, they traded him for Stephen Jackson. Now to get out of that move they bring in Monta, plus get rid of an asset in Bogut. In another year, I'll probably be able to add another chapter to the string of connecting horrible moves.
