Nope.

Rondo's usually pretty slow in November. I think he'll pick up the pace as the season progresses. Plus, as good an offensive player Brandon Jennings is, he puts up 25+ shots per game. I don't think that'll work in our system as it's set up now.

He puts up 19.5... on a team that has nobody else to shoot the ball.  We can forgive him for being a chucker at this point.

In a heartbeat, but that call will never happen.
agreed...i have seen 7 Bucks games this season...a lot of upside with this kid,and probably make the allstar team as a rookie if he keeps this up.He's not bad on defense either .I haven't seen to much to complain about in his game so far.He doesn't take ill-advised shots...seems to have a high bball IQ.Keeps his teammates in the game,even though he scores a lot.

He's the main reason the Bucks are 8-3,second to the Cavs and in front of the Bulls in their division.

The biggest question now with this team,can M.Redd and B. Jennings play well together... When Redd return to the lineup,there will be less shots to go around.

The Bucks would never do that. they've got years left on his rookie contract, for a couple years he's an all-star at an affordable salary.

Agreed as well.  I've seen a few of the Bucks games and some of his plays are jaw dropping.  I watched most of his 55 point game 29 points in 1 quarter. Unreal.  However more importantly Scott Skiles their coach said he is getting his points in the flow of the offense and  not forcing too much.   He is carrying that team at 8-3.   I would find it hard to part with Rondo but I love how this kid Jennings plays and the way he can shoot would open up things for our offense.  However let's see this kid do it for another 30 games before reconsidering it again.

Big risk ...

If the trade idea popped up two months from now and Jennings was still doing what he's doing then I'd likely pull the trigger on it. But now, after 11 games? Eh, tough call. Huge risk. Probably not but it's close.

Call me crazy but I have never been a fan of 6 foot tall PGs who take 25% of a team's total shots every game.

wrong. The difference between those guys and AI is that they're willing to sacrifice personal stats for the greater good of the team. AI is 34 and he still hasn't learned the concept of team basketball.

Brandon Jennings is young guy, he may get there someday but at this point, he's getting ROY talk for his stats. He's a shoot first PG, which wouldn't fit well within the system that we have. Can you imagine him trying to maintain the egos of 3 HOFers and get them enough shots? From what I've seen of Jennings, that's definitely not his strength at this point. Maybe with a bit more experience, but if this trade were remotely possible, it would be awhile before we could figure out and implement an offense that would work to the strengths of all the players.

Well to counterpoint your argument who else is going to score on the Bucks.  Redd has only played 2 games.  Bogut is your second leading scorer with Ilyasova and Ridnour next in line.  With that talent they should be 3-8 at best not 8-3.  Jennings has to score big on that team and he is doing it very efficiently while his coach is quoted as saying Jennings is being a team player.  If he was on the Celtics his scoring average would go down but his assists would probably go up.  It's only 11 games but still very very impressive nonetheless.   If he was still doing this into February I would strongly consider pulling the trigger.

That's the situation, not the player.

Jennings is only taking that large a number of shots because Milwaukee lack scorers. From everything I've seen of him, Jennings would be perfectly comfortable scoring 14-19ppg while setting up the offense and getting others shots.
