Prob. Not a good fit here,  unless Bradleys inj. Is still iffy, but I think he will be playing soon.

He is going to help someone out.

It is not Bradley's injury that is the question but rather if Jennings has ever fully recovered from his injury in 2015 (torn Achilles).  I would be shocked to see Jennings in Green but he could end up somewhere.

Seems like Brooklyn could be a fit for him, although Lin did just get back

Still, he wouldn't have to move to play for them, so unless a contender makes an offer that could be his best option (assuming they show any interest in him)

I don't see why we would even consider him, though
I'm bitter.

He had such a good opportunity this year in NY, but he didn't grasp it. I thought he could show the world could still play, and that Achilles is fine. They would resign him had he done well.
I always felt that his general lack of strength sapped his career from going a few notches up. It seemed like his (fairly talented) finesse game had to outfinesse opponents 100 out of 100 times. If he had just a 15 lbs of muscle more, he would still be a starter and would prevent many of small injuries IMO. The guy scored 55 in his 7th NBA, the talent was there, the body just wasn't.

Sounds like he asked out so he could sign with a contender & Phil obliged. 

He looks fine to me, plenty of game left in him, at least from what I've seen.

Wonder if he might land in OKC?   After trading their backup pg he could be a good fit.

Jennings sucks.  He thinks he has Isaiah Thomas talent but he doesn't.

We don't need or want him. New Orleans could use him.

I'd like to see him on OKC.

OKC vs. Golden State in a potential 2nd round matchup would be insane.

With McDermott, Gibson, potentially Jennings added could make it a fun series.

That's good to hear. I guess that rules out the Nets then.

The Wizards could really use him.  Trey Burke is terrible and John Wall is getting run into the ground as a result.  (Not that I mind.)

I would rather Bradley with 2 strained ACLs

I think that would be ideal for him too. Maybe he is going to try and beat Calderon to GSW.

geez, the guy averaged 16 points and 6 assists a game in his first 6 years before injury. that sucks?

tough audience.

Supposedly he's going to Charlotte, with the news oddly coming from Stan van Gundy.

He wasn't all that good before his injury, either. Volume scorer not talented enough to carry an entire franchise on his back.
