swift makes about $6 mil this season. if wanted to do a sign and trade for 5 years/$45 mil, since it's an increase of $3 mil/year on salary (50%), how do the trades need to be worked out to match up $$$'s wise?

how about after the CBA (collective bargaining agreement)?

For Swift to hit BYC he would have to be given a starting salary greater than $7.2M. (Raise of > 20%)

imo too much thought and effort is waisted on a player who is nothing special. who Can't rebound and would get murdered by true NBA centers. We can find players like him through the draft or a young player who is rotting on a team's bench for much less than $7million.

I wouldn't mind having Swift but it isnt possible. Others teams have a lot more to offer in terms of players and when you consider what adonal foyle and Kenyon Martin got last year Swift is going to get a lot of money. I don't think Swift is worth dreaming over
