This isn't a trade idea, but I didn't think it belonged in Cavs Talk.
But what would it take to get Robert Swift? He is currently a RFA with Oklahoma City. I can't remember off the top of my head, but his QO is something like $3.5M should he accept it.
Oklahoma City has a glut of big men and the injury prone Swift doesn't seem to fit in with them, in my eyes...
Centers...
Johan Petro [7'0", 247 lbs]
Mouhamed Sene [6'11", 230 lbs]
Power Forwards...
Chris Wilcox [6'10", 235 lbs]
Nick Collison [6'10", 255 lbs]
Joe Smith [6'10", 225 lbs]
D.J. White [6'9", 251 lbs]
Unsigned Rookies...
Serge Ibaka, PF [6'10", 220 lbs] <1st Rounder>
DeVon Hardin, C [6'11", 235 lbs] <2nd Rounder>
Robert Swift, C [7'1", 245 lbs]
If we could somehow sign him without OKC matching, it could have our frontcourt looking like this...
C- Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Robert Swift
PF- Anderson Varejao, Ben Wallace, JJ Hickson

- What would it take to get him?
- How much of our MLE could we use to pry him away?
- Is he worth the risk of offering a decent contract [at least one larger than his QO] so OKC doesn't match?
