[Mr. Sun]

Man, we're gonna be loaded with slashers, you guy's realize that?

The Suns should get as many athletic slashers as possible to help cover for Shaq and Nash.

[BigWil17]

suns and swift reach agreement, will be official soon. you heard it here first.

I think stevieboy from the nets board had it first, but whatever. Hopefully Swift will be able to contribute to the Suns. I hope he'll be able to concentrate on basketball when he's on the court because he was devestated by the loss of his mom.

I'd be pretty happy with a Swift pickup. He's a legit NBA big, though not a good one, and we can only get away with Barnes at the 4 against so many teams. I'd prefer Joe Smith, but let's be realistic -- Cleveland wants him, he's played there before, and they probably have quite a bit more money to offer. So I'm willing to settle for Swift. I haven't seen him play this year, but at 29, he should still have most of his athleticism, and I think he's a pretty decent fit for our team.

Barbosa can help console him since he went through the same thing this year.

As did Barnes.....

[Stix]

Yes! It will be exciting to watch Stro-Swift on the fast break with Nash feeding him ally oops!

[Gorilla Warfare]

Adonal Foyle got waived too, if we can give him less than 1mil a year i think he would be a decent big too. At least help us box people out.

[rag-time4]

When does this waiting period come to an end? I want to see if Stromile gets signed!!!!!

[Orange_Blooded]

Believe its a 48 hour waiver period from the time the player is released.

[Mr. Sun]

His age is really irrelevant because he has low miles. He should play at a higher level under the Suns.

I hope the league understands that that's pure torture!

The old guy can still do it! From last season!

Whatever happened to db? ihateginobili is taking over his job.

Swift is a decent pickup. I hope he comes in with the right attitude.

--- what's the deal if we grab MWiliams? Can he play the reg season and just not the playoffs? Should be worth a shot. I liked the kid and he's still cheap contract

[TASTIC]

Playoffs?!

We talkin bout playoffs?!

[JohnVancouver]

Playoffs?!

We talkin bout playoffs?!

---- Ahem ...

No, we not talking no playoffs. Just a question about the whole mar 1 deadline. Can a player waived/bought out play in reg season games after mar 1 or is he barred form them as well as playoffs?
