I'm not disappointed the Magic didn't get Swift, but I do hope they'll make a move for another PF like Pachulia, Joe Smith, Kurt Thomas, even a guy like Craig Smith.

Don't need to give New Jersey hope of playing better. Grizz again unloading decent pieces for nothing.

That's the idea. Unfortunately the Grizzlies organization allowed some issues to get too far out of controlled like the ownership business with Michael Heisley. The idea behind these moves today is to get the franchise under the cap so Heisley can sell the franchise at a reasonable price than he asked for in the first place.

Swift is terrible.

So is Collins.
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability

Given, but you'd think the teams wouldn't play the players with the risk of injury and what not.
