Blatant double standard in treatment of Swift and new Nets

You just repeated what's been said 2 posts ago.

How is that helpful?

Anyway, it really seems like people around here are sceptic that Swift can help this team so I won't even bother coming by to see stupid posts like ''Why play him? he's a dumb player!''.

Eh, point.

I really don't understand what you see in Swift.

I dont care if he plays or not, I'd rather develop our younger guys and use Swift as trade bait next season...

Is he that incompetent a player?

He seems the only one of our big guys that can get his own shot. He can also block shots and finish strong.

But i dont really know too much about everything else he does on the floor which is why I'm asking.

What about the stepback jumper he made? I don't think Jefferson is much better of a shooter than Swift, if at all.

Swift isn't as dumb as some people make him out to be, Frank really isn't that good with rotations, I'm sure Swift will get meaningful minutes during these next 9 games the NETS have coming up

Woah woah. that's quite a leap there. RJ's jumper is pretty good when he shoots in rhythm. His 3 ball has improved too but only when he's set up for a wide open one. But i agree with the sentiment on Swift.

Our other big guys are all completely dependent on getting set up by carter and marcus. At least you make the other team worry about something else with swift on the floor.
