If they'd be interested in doing a Barbosa/Jose for BJ, I'd be all over that.

Just looking at 82games.com and I noticed the Bucks on/off court stats with Jennings. The Bucks are +7.3 with Jennings on the bench. They are -4.4 with him on the floor.
He is on the floor 75% and off 25%.
Stats don't always tell the full story but that is interesting - especially when you see his win % is 26.3.

Pair this with his recent comments about his love for the city of Toronto, and his close friendship with DeMar and speculation can be fueled.
Also Colangelo's recent comments about needing to file the PG spot for the future.
Comments like these may be part of the reason why Milwaukee was listening to interested teams.

Basketball players are entering another level of entitled and arrogant, and it's getting old really fast.

I really hope that BC makes a move to get him. I think Jennings could be the future PG of the Raptors. He wants to be here and it would be one less position that needs to be addressed in the near future. I also think that he might be able to elevate Derozan's play.

If the Raps could find another deal for Calderon, perhaps a deal like this would work:
TO RAPS
- Jennings (Raps PG of the future)
- Udrih (salary dump for Milwaukee and Raps backup PG for next season, who would be an asset as an expiring contract too)
TO MILWAUKEE
- Bayless (to give them a starting quality PG and/or an expiring contract)
- Amir/Davis (young, blue-collar PF)
- 2013 1st round draft pick

Who would you rather have for a PG: Jennings or Calderon?
There are pros and cons for each.
Pros Calderon: pass first PG, chemistry with certain players, great teammate, a solid veteran, history in Toronto.
Cons Calderon: age, contract, injury history, playing Olympics this summer (injury risk).
Pros Jennings: youth (22), connection with DeMar, major threat to score, scrappy on D.
Cons Jennings: everything Jose is not.
Who would you prefer moving forward with the rebuild?

I voted for Jennings.
I don't hate Calderon. I actually like him a lot. The problem is I think he is injured for the majority of next year with groin and hamstring issues after a compressed NBA season, followed by the Olympics, and then straight in to training camp.
Jennings is a low risk, high reward move. If he doesn't pan out, well, they don't have to give him an extension and he only has 1 year left on his rookie deal. Given the fact he has survived playing for Skiles, I think he would thrive under Casey - and next to DeMar.
