    Nets possibly after Stromile

    Page not found | New York Post

    The Nets are trying to pry Stromile Swift from Houston. They are concerned about Jason Collins and now have Marc Jackson wondering whether he'd be better off somewhere else after he was benched last night.

    Fun team, huh?

    Yesterday, multiple league sources claimed the Nets and Rockets discussed a deal involving Swift for Jackson and a first-round pick, a deal that did not interest Houston. But the Nets are expected to intensify their quest as concern grows over Collins, who will undergo additional tests on his leg today.

    The Nets had Swift as their second free-agent choice but after they appeared to sew up Shareef Abdur-Rahim, Swift signed with Houston. But Swift (who makes $5 million) has been a bench player, same as Jackson (who $4.55 million), who last night stayed calm and composed but was obviously upset by the DNP.

    "A DNP means you can't help the team. If he don't think I can help the team, then maybe get rid of me for somebody you think can," Jackson said. "I think I show every day in practice I can help this team . . . I didn't get an opportunity tonight to help the team and that hurts."

          The rockets already said no thanks.......

          Post writer Fred Kerber says the Nets are trying to acquire Stromile Swift from Houston and have reportedly offered Marc Jackson and a first-round pick. The Rockets don't appear to be interested.

                  That trade is LAUGHABLE.

                      Who do you guys think they should trade for that? I'd be pushing more for the Nets to get Stromile but keep key players to make things happen. If the Nets pull it off, I'd be surprised on the real. Maybe they should go to one of the weaker teams and make demands for other players though. I'm pretty sure that the big three aren't moving from that position for as long as they're in the league. Sure would be nice though....

                          who said that we think the trade should happen. We all are basicly saying no way the deal is made.

                                      I'm saying that's the only way I'd trade Swift if we can pry one of the big three away from the Nets. If not, it's just pointless. Jackson/Wright/1st round pick is tempting, too, though. But, I'm patient and want to see what Swift can really develop into.

                                          Jackson for Stro is a joke. With that, trading a big for a small is hardly ever more beneficial to the team taking the small player in return.

                                          I think Kidd would be the only consideration being that he addresses a CRITICAL need of the rockets at the guard position, but that's a joke to NJ fans just like Stro for Marc jackson is.

                                              Yeah but the trade would be great for Stro. Kidd makes guys that can run and are athletic into stars. Look at what he did for Kmart, Marion, RJ. Stro could be a athletic star like those guys if he will run hard. Trade won't happen though.

                                                  lol @ the Nets giving up one of their big 3 for Stromile Swift. Swift is mediocre at best.

                                                      Jackson/1st round pick for Swift is just as funny.

                                                          only because it will be a rather late 1st round pick. if it was a lottery pick, the rockets would be stupid not to take it.
