I think he'll come by quite expensive, and he's also getting old. We already have a young center who's only going to get better. We're weakest at the PF spot, and we could use help on the bench.
Rahim is the better fit. He is a low post player and can give the Nets some points when the other guys are cold. Lets face it.....We are not talking about Ray Allen and Rashard Lewis here. VC and RJ can both go on a cold streak over the course of a game. VC is a volume shooter and RJ is effective driving to the basket. Both are not great shooters. Everyone knows Kidd is not great shooter either. Swift is not a offensive threat except on fast break and on the offensive glass. The Nets need a low post scorer until Krstic develops a consistent low post game. Swift cant provide that.

I know Washington's proved that you can have 3 and be a force, and Pheonix's shown that you can have 4, as long as the other guy is passing them all the ball (nash). Personally, I'd rather have Stro Show, to bring their running game and paint tenacity back up. Plus the excitement of watching is always a plus. But if SAR can really buy into the team concept, it'd be a good pick up if the Nets are seriously focusing on a half-court offense.
