What do you guys think about this? Some other sites have talked about this trade happening. Would it be a good trade for the Lakers?

Not a bad trade. I would like Swift to match up with Duncan etc...

 

[I Hate You]

I dont think Jerry West would trade a guy with Stromile Swifts potential for a guy who will be average even if he reaches his full potential. Remmeber Stromile was the 2nd pick in the draft a couple years back and was being billed as the guy who could become a big time player. So the for this trade to happen, first LA would have to resign Devean, then i think they'd have to throw in something else, maybe a couple of 1st round picks?

I think a trade of Devean and a 1st next year and the next 2 2nd Rders would be a fair trade, but this how Sean Deveney of the Sportingnews feels about how Swift would fit in the Triangle Offense.

Its the last question 2 him at the the bottom of the page. I disagree with what he says. I think Shaq and kobe could would keep him in check and make him a better player.


Also if you are wonderng about my name I am not a Celtic fan but a BIG LAKERS FAN but the sight says I had already registered(which isn't true) and as of right now I can't change my name

I don't know where Swift would fit in....we have a ton of PF's-and if Slava re-signs(which I want to happen)-It will get really crowded.-Can he play SF?-well I guess that would be a bad idea-if we want Kobe to play the wing more.

Send a PM to Ron and give him alternate name or two and he will change your name. Sounds like your other name was registered but never activated ? Explain that to Ron also and see what he can do.

Thanks

He is going to change my name by tommorow night. It will probaly be JJ5441

Devean George is a free agent. You can't trade what you don't have.

Sign and Trade.

If the Lakers sign George, they definitely won't trade him.:no:

 

[pharcyde]

I think Swift for George is a good trade

Well, for the Lakers. I don't know what they Grizzlies would do with George. Can he play the 2? I always thought he was a 3, but if he can play the 2 then it's good for both sides. Yes, Swift was the second pick, but he's been a disappointment so far and I've read at least two or three atricles that mentioned that West wasn't too high on the guy. He was a number 2 pick but not West's number 2 pick. I think he really likes George and thinks his style of play would fit in well with Memphis.

 

[JJ5441]

Also remeber that West is the one who drafted George.

 

[Jamel Irief]

Stromile Swift is eaisly the best talent we can get for George. Considering he is a FA, we should try not to be picky.

Swifthasn't had a disappointing career. He did average 13ppg last year. I just don't think he is the type of player that the Lakers need.:no:

 

[pharcyde]

Actually it was 11.8 points a game last season

And with Gasol I don't think they really need Swift. He'll probably leave as a free agent when he can because being the number 2 pick usually means starter's minutes, so he'll go somewhere he can get that, whether or not he really deserves it or not.

Something not really related, when I looked up his scoring average for last season I noticed that he scored 31 in the last game of the season against Seattle. It doesn't really mean much, but it's sort of interesting.
