    if this is true, i will also do this trade straight away.. we get mcinnis to fill in the PG position and another wingman in RJ..
    But it all depends on how quick mutombo can get back to play, because without him and Yao, we cant afford to lose Stro

    we can play small until mutombo comes in... we could be like the suns, make teams adjust for us....

    PG: Jeff/Moochie
    SG: Wesly/Luther
    SF: T-mac/ bowen
    PF: Jefferson/baxter
    C: Howard/Baxter

    compare to

    PG: WEsley/Moochie
    SG: T-Mac/Luther
    SF: Bowen/T-mac
    PF: Howard/Swift
    C: Swift/Baxter

    Since when has hoopsworld.com been a solid source for rumors? They said we were getting Sprewell, and I don't think he's in a Rockets uniform right now.

    This rumor is so ridiculous that it's laughable. There is no way anyone would want to trade Jefferson, a big time small forward, for a career underachiever in Swift. Not to mention McInnis is also not going to be a throw-in. Jefferson has a rather large contract and even if this deal is done, it would be for just Swift. We will definitely have to give up another contract, and it won't be a small one at that.

    RJ and Jeff for SWIFT!!! That WOULD be VERY NICE, but I see that as the biggest made up rumor ever. Never going to happen in my eyes. The Nets could get a lot more than Swift. If they wanted Swift THAT BAD why didn't they sign him when they had the chance?

    This trade would really help us and we would start winning games until Mutombo came back. I just think it's too good to be true.

    Damn I hate hoopsworld They hear that there is a trade rumor between the Nets and the Rockets and that the Nets could not get Swift. So they try and make the Nets sound desperate for him and make up this trade. Like the NJN need swift that bad.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting tr@cy&ya0:</div><div class="quote_post">the nets will give us jefferson and mcinnis for swift.. I WOULD DO THIS RIGHT AWAY. there is no way u can decline that



    heres the source Source</div>


    There is no way in hell Thorn would ever consider that trade. I don't like Swift and I would only trade Jackson to get him. Why would Jefferson be traded for an almost useless Swift. He hasn't really proved anythin then bein an underachiever. Thorn deserves to get shot, if he even thinks of trading Jefferson for Swift

    ^^ tr@cy&yao who would ever play howard at the 5??? that 2nd lineup for running small just plain sucks mine would be more like
    swift
    howard
    Tmac
    head
    alston

    i think swift can be a solid contributer but not under JVG's system. I'd do that deal though... but i'd personally rather see us get a better offensive coach...
