Why does everyone want Stromile Swift to start? He is 6-9 and will be thrown around in the post like a ragdoll. All Stromile basically does is pump the crowd up. He has power dunks, blocks, and even rebounds that get the crowd to their feet every game, so the fans forget the fact that some games he has been on the court for twenty minutes without scoring. Other games Stromile has had over ten turnovers. I always say that Stromile has stone hands, because everytime a player passes him the ball it goes right through his hands. Stromile was the second choice overall in the 2000 Draft. He should at least have a starting role right now. Stromile plays in sperts. He is far from consistant. He said in an interview last year that the reason for his inconsistancy was simply the fact that some days he just doesn't feel like playing. This could be translated into the fact that he has no motivation and a weak work ethic. I think that Jason Williams was that way before he came to Memphis. Now that Hubbie got a hold of him he has become quite the polished player. I just hope that Stromile can make the same turn around. Hubbie seemed to be getting to Stromile towards the end of the season, but then he went cold again. In my mind he is no question mark. I am sold on him being an inconsistant backup and nothing more.
Pau is the reason that Stromile doesnt get the minutes he needs Swift is productive when given minutes,i think Memphis should look to trade him because he is too small to play center and Pau plays his position

he had a couple spurts of 20 10 games and then games after that he was getting dnp's so he would really benifit from getting traded.

Stromile is given plenty of opportunities off the bench and he never produces. He has one year left on his contract too, so it will be near impossible to trade him.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "allnet":</div><div class="quote_post">If grizzles trade Swift they will regret it big time...trust me</div>I don't think so. Stromile is leaving after this season. Might as well cash in on him now.
