Stromile Swift
Warriors get:
Stromile Swift
Memphis gets:
Pietrus(sign and trade)
Sarunas
All the mock drafts point to the Grizzlies taking another big man in the draft, most likely because Conley is expected to be taken by the Hawks. This means that the Grizzlies will be stacked with 3/4 tweeners and 4s if they draft Horford or Brandon Wright.
I tried to think of a possible trade situation that would allow the Warriors to move up in the draft at 10 or 11, but couldn't think of any way that we would be able to swap picks with them.
If we made this aquisition, here are the benefits I see:
- We have a big men that can run the break and finish on ally-oops besides Biedrins.
- We assess our rebounding and weak side defending issue with Swift's athleticism.
- We can then draft a swingman or BPA rather than getting a big guy.

hmmm

Let's Go Oakland! Gas, Brake, Dip.
If Pietrus signs an $8 mil/year contract...
dubs could use
They can fit him into the salary, but only if Foyle is jettisoned for an expiring contract. Would POB do it? and/or a future 1st?
I would not trade our second rounder this year. Cabbages and Pietrus for Swift is difficult to turn down.
i'd really like to see what Swift does
Add Kelena, a backup PG (sarunas or someone else), Powell, 3 rookies, and whoever else (Foyle, POB if they aren't moved) and you have your roster.
The warriors need to keep the core of this team together and I'm not sold on Barnes. Swift can definitely run and provide a shotblocking presence when Biedrins exits. Pairing him with Harrington or Biedrins means you always have athleticism.
I think its an experiment worth doing.
just wanted to add
The dubs cannot afford to add a contract next year without getting rid of Foyle. They need to dump contracts, not add them. Memphis fans think Swift is untradeable so it could get done without Pietrus.
Any move that is made will be with Monta and Biedrins' future in mind first and foremost.
Salary
sto
let's see here
since he was the number 2 pick you cant go wrong!
Then again, this was the weakest draft in recent years imo. I mean here's your top ten pick of that draft:
1 Kenyon Martin
2 Stromile Swift
3 Darius Miles
4 Marcus Fizer
5 Mike Miller
6 DerMarr Johnson
7 Chris Mihm
8 Jamal Crawford
9 Joel Przybilla
10 Keyon Dooling
Not exactly 1992. Even if an NBA team has these 10 guys on its roster, it would be average at best!

DAMN!
He's had opportunities
The point is
good player?
relax junior

Memphis needs guards
Memphis has a lot of cap room next year, so they could take on more money than they give away, plus they will most likely sign Chauncey Billups if they give him the money. I really don't think Memphis would even consider taking anyone from our team but a guard.
im not sure
Stromile never...

I HATE STRO
Underachiever? Check.
Overrated? Check.
Overpaid? Check.
Why would anyone want him?
Even in the uptempo game Barrone ran after Fratello got fired, Swift still struggled. What makes anyone think he'll be okay in Nellie's system if he couldn't hang in Barrone's?
Below average players.
safe to say..
