Considering the tragedic circumstances that Stro has been going through this season with the loss of his mother. I have my doubts that he will be picked up by another team this season. Hopefully whenever Stro comes back, he'll be able to be more focus to help his next team out and that the tragedy of his mother's death will somehow be eased a bit with each passing day.

All I know is that I do not think he will be back here for round 3.

I wouldn't be there for that either. He's already depressed enough as is.

Here is an article in the local media: click here for a link

Nets coach Frank said that he was practicing very well and was ready to play this week. But the release came after a meeting with Nets GM Kiki Vandeweghe and Stromile's agent Andy Miller.... with a clear quote from Vandeweghe saying that Swift isn't getting playing time.

Seems like Stromile is ready to play, but he wants to actually play. The Grizzlies do need a veteran big man!!!

I'm hoping he signs with Cleveland, but anywhere where he'll play would be great!

Looks like the Suns are showing some interest in picking Stro off waivers.

Return to Memphis Grizzlies
