maybe a trade of scenary will help both players, doubt it though.
on a side note, KB20: the word 'length' in your signature banner is spelled wrong lol

Why would any team trade for either Collins twin? Is he an expiring?
Stromile Swift is exactly the kind of F-C that New Jersey needs. Now Kidd will have four finishers around him: Carter, Jefferson, Swift, Williams. It may not entice him to stay, but it's another weapon he can actually USE and a talent upgrade.

The question is, will Lawrence Frank even use him? I dont think Frank likes dumb players. I think Swift will be stapled to the bench in under 1 and a half weeks.

What's the motive for Memphis? Aren't their contracts the same length? At least Swift can be a productive back-up that can score a little and block shots. It'd also be interesting to see how he'd play with a guy like Jason Kidd who should make him a MUCH more productive player with the talent that he has. But I doubt this move really entices Kidd to stay longer

the motive is swift getting in the face of their coach in the middle of a game last week, causing him to be suspended for conduct detrimental to the team... i guess this is personal .... anyway i just have one thought....... THANK GOD WE GOT RID OF TWIN HAHAHAHA

Swift is a guy the Nets have shown interest in in the past. Collins is (hypothetically!) a 7-footer who can clog the lane, which the Grizzlies sorely need. Neither can really play much worse right now and neither's way over the hill so why not? It's a low-risk, maybe as high as medium-low reward trade.
It is kinda boring though. I wanna see a blockbuster!

Yeah, a one-for-one swap of a disgruntled bench role player signals a firesale. How could it be otherwise, Socrates?

Memphis must have a limit of 2 big men drafted in the top 2 that are busts on their roster, they don't want to look silly
