He's just one of those guys that deserves something good to happen to him here in Jersey. 7 years in Vancouver/Memphis should put him in line for something good
Swift and Swilliams together would be awesome to see evry night off the bench. i been hoping since we got him for big wins so that we could at least see him in garbage mins and weve been lucky. hes been fun to watch even for that 1min or 2 the past few games. He brings excitement and energy to the floor. Im hoping he has an active role off the bench after the all star break. So do u guys still want Collins back? lol the best part about not having collins on the team is not giving lawrence frank the stupid option of actually starting him. good riddance
I'm annoyed how Frank is not welcoming of new players. He didn't accept Mags at all, it took him a while to give Sean some minutes. And now Swift is barely getting 2 minutes a game.
I'm just glad to see a player in garbage minutes that actually looks like he has some skills. You can totally see the difference between Swift and Magloire. I know it's just garbage minutes, but if you never shine against another teams scrubs then I really wonder if you even belong in the NBA. Mark my words, Frank will find some room for him. He must see he's a better player than Allen. If he can hit the jumperhe will take his minutes. Is Swift better than Boone, Krstic, and Sean Williams? Too hard to tell right now. Better than Allen? Absolutely. With Allen's minutes we'll see if he moves up the ladder. Frank is just going to do it slowly because he knows guys are use to finding Allen for those jumpers. He doesn't want to take too many things away from the guys on the floor. Like I said, if Swift hits the 10-15' jumper he's in, which I think he can do.
Can Swift run the floor? He's never really been in a running offense. You team him with Kidd and Krstic. Krstic grabbing the boards and Swift filling a lane.

I'd like to see him play with Williams but putting him with Krstic might be a safer combination. I haven't seen much of the Nets' bigs yet, but Stro is definitly worthy of more PT on that team. If playing 2 minutes at the end of games is what ''adaptation'' is to coach Frank, I don't care. But I hope he'll get more than just garbage minutes pretty soon.

I think the ideal combo is Krstic and Swift starting, Boone and SWAT off the bench.

Lawrence loves defense too much to not notice how bad Allen is, but he just needs jumpshooters to make the offense work sometimes. Unfortunately he only has 2 on the bench (Boki and Allen). Sean coming off the bench will also cut down on Allen's minutes. He'll be 12th man in about a month.
Malik is playing for the same reason that Cliff Robinson played. Frank loves jump-shooting big men, even if they can't do anything else.

I think that's also one more reason Collins is gone. Set Shot Willy couldn't hit the side of a barn anymore.
i hope the kings trade artest very soon for a big man that will put mikki moore to the bench, then moore will open his mouth again regarding the lack of playing time so we can trade mags' and allen's expiring contracts for the athletic, mobile and jump-shooting 7' big mikki moore who will light a fire under everyone's asses on the nets...oh and we need a shooter, too...billy thomas?
