If he gets time, he can be a decent trade chip. Swift's worst case scenario is that he's simply an expiring deal - which makes him equal to Collins anyway.</div> No, Stro's worst case scenario is that he has to be sent home and told to stay away from the team. I'd rather have McInnis around the young guys than Stro. </div> It's still equal same in terms of trade value. It might even be preferred. An inactive Swift might be easier to buy out by his new team, where Collins will take up a roster spot all season. </div> I think you're underestimating Collins' effect as a player-coach during practice. Maybe someone will be interested in Swift, but I doubt it at his contract number. One thing I know for sure is that he won't be teaching Boone and Swat how to play man-to-man post defense, and area where they've both improved dramatically over the few months they've been playing.
If Swift was that good would he really be going to his 4th new team? He may have talent but Swift also has some head problems from what i understand, i dont know if the nets need that. And yeah I like the trade, but i am fearfull of what happens with Swat and JB now.

How many times has jason kidd been traded? Oh sh!t, he's about to get traded again.

ok I found out what's going on and why this is happening at first I thought Kiki drugged Memphis's GM or did an Isiah and has some pictures of him. What is really happening is that he is striking while he can. MEMPHIS IS HAVING A FIRE SALE !! <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>According to the CA and cbssports.com, the Grizzlies and the Nets are talking about a deal that would send Stromile Swift to the Nets for Jason Collins. I believe this to be completely true. I don't know if the deal will take place for sure, but I would think there is a really good chance. I don't even give a crap about that deal to be honest. <span style="color:#FF0000">What I do care about is the deal that also may come in the next few days. I don't think that we are going to be as happy as we once thought we would be about a Pau deal. I have pontificated on the fact that a fire sale could be coming so that Heisley can save money and position the team to sell it. I think he wants to be able to sell to someone and be able to pitch that they will takeover a product with quite a bit of flexibility that they can do whatever they want with. Unfortunately I think that Wallace was hired to carry out this plan. I hope I am wrong. There is nothing that Heisley has done in the past 2 years to indicate that he is doing anything but cutting back on all costs. Saving money is what this franchise is about now. With that being said, look for Pau to be part of a deal that brings back a big expiring contract. If what I think may go down, goes down, people are going to be really pissed. Have you ever considered what Kwame Brown would look like in a Grizzlies uni? I am just asking.</span></div> source Pau in a Lakers uni w/ Bynum & Kobe I mean thanks Jerry West
Wow. I dislike Ratner for not willing to spend money to bring in talent, but getting rid of franchise guys before you sell the team is an entirely different animal.

The Swift trade is either: a) An Attempt to keep Kidd happy in NJ with a High Flyer to throw Alley-Oops to I heard that it might be to free up cash or something to be able to trade Kidd c) Just a solid trade What do you think?
