Might as do it, but I don't know if it's going to do much for the team if Frank doesn't play him... And hell even if Frank does play him Boone, Sean, or Krstic are going to get some sort of shaft so we're going to get Nets fans crying more than ever...

If true...dear lord DO IT!!! Swift is not special...but for Twin?!?!? DO IT!!!! Even if Swift has an attitude or doesn't play much, you get an athlete and LOSE COLLINS!!! This is too good to be true...doubt it happens...

Well when you consider that both Swift and Collins' contracts end at the same time and that the Grizz already have Warrick to eat up backup bigman minutes, I could see them trading for Collins, the Nets might have to throw in some cash maybe a future second rounder (hopefully not) but it's not that bad of a deal for either team.

Mb Memphis buys him out so we can bring him back as a cheerleader , i'll miss his funny look .
Hopefully he brings back his afro Twin with afro = priceless .

omg when i read this i thought it was Robert Swift of the sonics for collins(still would be happy) But Stro, please let this be true, and stro runs the floor well(if we keep Kidd), if we dont this trade would be completely useless
why do the grizzs wana do this anyways, it seems to good to be true.

Because Hakim Warrick has the same type of game and Stro's and Collins' contracts are similar. Why not have 2 different types of low post players?

Hes a problem child for the grizzlies basically. They just want him off the team.

hope this deal gets done, but if it's being done to try and keep Kidd here and be quiet, I think it's too late.

hey guys...
go to the memphis board...or lakers board...or chitown board....
they will have the links to an interesting article out of memphis hinting at a memphis firesale and pau could be dealt for kwame.....
then the speculation quickly turns to a 3 way with LA and NJ, with Kidd going to LA and Pau going to NJ.....just a rumor though....go to one of those boards i mention to find the link and quote...i'm tired of posting it.....you'll find it....

As long as Swift aint gonna effect the morale and attitude of this team (specially the young guys), im all for it.

It's too bad Kidd is on his way out. This trade would be great for the Nets.
