    Ideal type of 2-guard?

    What type of 2-guard do you feel best fits our style, and would make a good running mate with Jennings in the back court? Right now we have Redd (30 yrs old), but I'm not really sure that's he part of the future we are trying to build towards.

     So my question is, what type of 2-guard would you prefer? Obviously Kobe and Wade would be great, but let's be realistic here. Do we want a high-scoring SG (20-30 ppg?) that needs the ball in their hands a lot, or somebody who can play off the ball a bit and notch somewhere between 16-20 ppg.

    I feel Jennings has shown himself to be a good decision maker thus far. He knows when to score, and is capable (And will only improve), but at the same time, he's a willing passer. For this reason I would prefer Jennings have the ball in his hands most of the time. A player similar to Richard Hamilton (31 yrs old) would really flourish in our system because he's a solid shooter and plays very well off the ball. Of course Rip is getting up there in age, but I think a player with a similar game would be perfect for our team.

    Personally, I'm a big fan of Kevin Martin in Sacramento.  He's a similar player to Redd, in the sense that he's a three-point shooter.  But, Martin is 4 years younger and makes $7 million less this season and $7 million less next season.  When Redd's contract then runs out, Martin will still have 2 years left on his deal for $25 mil.

    I do think that the best type of SG for a Jennings/Bogut offense is a 3-point shooting SG, like a Redd or Martin.  It may be a tough transition for Redd to accept being a guy who sits behind the 3-point line and waits for the ball, considering he's been the offensive focal point for the Bucks for many years, but with Jennings' penetration skills and Bogut's increasing low-post ability (where he draws a lot of double teams), I believe it would be ideal to have a 3-point shooting threat at SG.

    But then again, that's what Delfino does at SF, and it's what Ilyasova does at PF, so it's tough to say.  I guess you can never really have enough good perimeter shooters though, as long as they're also willing to commit on defense.

    I like Kevin Martin, too, but he's a volume shooter, like Redd. I'd rather see a slasher SG who doesn't need to have the ball in his hands on every possession, with the size to play the 3 at times so Skiles can go small with two PGs if he wants to. Someone more along the lines of Iguodala, who can score >15 with <15 attempts and give you 4 or 5 assists a game.

    Tyreke Evans would fit the bill, too.

    Joe Johnson. A 6'7 SG

    Or Rudy Gay. He can be a 6'8 SG  

    Brandon Roy but he is tied up in Portland now...

    I would even take Martell Webster and another player, or Ronnie Brewer and another player from Utah.

    Kevin Martin...too pretty and too soft. Does not defend.

    I like Jason Richardson too former Spartan at MSU too...

    We DON'T NEED a guy like Richard Hamilton who is 31 or we might as well keep Michael Redd. We need to get younger there. Jodie Meeks I like which is why ideally I like the prospects of a Rudy Gay who can play SG at 6'8 and slide over to SF as well when Meeks is ready as can a guy like JJ and Andre.

    But all these guys below can defend for Scott Skiles at this position. All of them, which nullifies Kevin Martin. 

     

    #1. Joe Johnson

    #2. Rudy Gay

    #3. Ronnie Brewer

    #4. Andre Iguodala

    #5. Eric Gordon

    “My main goal is coming out here, making the playoffs, getting my teammates involved and trying to bring the winning back to Milwaukee,” Jennings said. “We have to win. I’m going to do my part and I’m going to try and make sure the team does their part.”

    If this is a purely hypothetical list, not taking into consideration the players who could actually be available, then maybe.  But Joe Johnson isn't going anywhere.  The Hawks have the best record in the NBA.

    Rudy Gay is a possibility to obtain via trade, especially because if Memphis didn't want to give him the 5-year, $60 mil extension last month, then why would they next summer?  But then it would cost the Bucks (or any team trading for him) 5 years and between $50-60 mil next summer.  Similar deal to Bogut's extension.

    Ronnie Brewer?  Maybe.  But if you're talking about a Redd-Brewer exchange, there is about a $15 mil difference in salaries, so there'd have to be a lot of other players or teams involved.

    Iguodala...hard to say.  Not worth the money he's getting, in my opinion.  $57 mil guaranteed owed over the next four years, including this year, then a $17 mil option for 2013-14.

    Eric Gordon is a franchise cornerstone for the Clippers, along with Blake Griffin, so he's not going anywhere.

    As for Kevin Martin, he could be available due to the emergence of Tyreke Evans as a shooting guard.

    bucks just have to wait, there's no SG on the market worth a damn and no one is available for are price this summer who is worth a damn.

    So everyone just pray for redd to workout for two years

    There was only one man that could stop Michael Jordan and that was
    Michael Jordan.
    The only 23
