I just read that Arthur could be out 4 months

I wonder if the Griz are considering signing Stromile Swift, who has played for Hollins before and who is currently a free agent...

Highly doubtful at this point. Burned bridge with the Grizz. Stro can't even find a place anywhere on the roster. The guy should've done a better job making good use of it when he did. Now he's nowhere at least until someone might consider taking him on.

Instead of revisiting the past, how about give some new blood a shot for a minute.

How did he burn a bridge?

Doubtful. The Grizz actually have an abundance of big bodies already under contract (Gasol, Zbo, Hunter, Haddadi, Thabeet, and Carroll) and a 15 man roster I believe. FWIW, it seems that Hollins is using a combination of Hunter and Carroll as the back up PF in the rotation.

You're right jefe, that is a lot of contracts.

I noticed jefe in another thread you mentioned that the d league might be a possibility for Thabeet. If they did that, they would probably have room for Stromile. It could make sense, so that Thabeet can actually play, and also to put another veteran next to Iverson who should be able to have excellent chemistry with Iverson. Swift is also familiar with some of the Griz players, as well as the coach.
