Let's give it up for Large Market Mentality and the New York Knicks
An underachieving guy I've envisioned on the Spurs for years now goes to the Nets for crap.
I hate small-market mentality.
Let's give it up for Large Market Mentality and the New York Knicks
Which is a big part of the reason Memphis and Houston were playing hot potato with him.
Ya seen our bigs lately?
Swift sucks.
Amen. Being the best team in professional sports for the last decade sucks.
Swift is not a very smart ball player.
Seems like change for the sake of change. I'm not sure what Swift offers that Elson doesn't. Except for the fact that he has a player option this off-season to make upwards of $6M....which he'll likely exercise.
If it's between Swift and Elson, I'm actually gonna say keep Elson b/c his contract is shorter.
Good God I just said I'd keep Elson in a certain situation....I feel dirty.
Any Spurs big > Swift
recognize .
Trust me, you don't want Swift.
Let Swift drift...
Stromile (not so) Swift

Nets deal Collins to Grizzlies for Swift
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- The New Jersey Nets acquired Memphis Grizzlies forward Stromile Swift on Monday for center Jason Collins and cash.
The 6-foot-10 Swift is expected to add athleticism to the frontcourt of the Nets, who have lost 10 of their last 12 games. Swift averaged 6.8 points and 3.7 rebounds in seven seasons with Memphis and one with the Houston Rockets.
The former LSU star spent his first five seasons with the Grizzlies. He was traded to Houston before the 2005-06 season and traded back to Memphis last season.
Collins was drafted by Houston in 2001 and traded to the Nets on draft night in a deal for Eddie Griffin that also sent Richard Jefferson to New Jersey. He was a member of the Nets' NBA Finals teams in 2002 and 2003 and has averaged 4.4 points and 4.5 rebounds over seven seasons.
Swift blows.
swift has the bball iq of a brick. actually the brick may be smarter.
Swift is dumber than a bag of hammers. Wouldn't work here. Strange call, Casper... must be all that family stuff you're doing messing with YOUR bball IQ!
Ghost has been calling for the Spurs to get Stro since about 2000.Swift is dumber than a bag of hammers. Wouldn't work here. Strange call, Casper... must be all that family stuff you're doing messing with YOUR bball IQ!
According to TrueHoop, two other players that the Spurs have rights to and could include in a deal are Nick Van Exel and Glenn Robinson. I have no idea, from a CBA or cap standpoint how that's possible and don't feel the desire to figure it out at the moment, but it is apparently true (in the same way that the Lakers were able to include Aaron McKie (now a Sixers' assistant coach) in the Gasol deal).

could be because HE IS STROMILE not-so SWIFT!!!!
Find a new team.
how much cap do NVE and big dawg take up? renounce their asses! you'd think Holt would've done so a loooong time ago.
unless RC advised otherwise...
They have their "rights". They are not taking up cap but can be used as trade filler. It's a smart GM move, not a dumb one.
Those of you who simply hate can all go F' yourselves.
One thing I can't stand is homers who like treading water.
Swift is easily better than any bigs we currently have not named Duncan.
Okay, but let it go. He is going to New Jersey.
