    Well at least it is not a huge unmovable contract. The price-risk-reward is pretty good.

    I hope he's more consistent and healthier more than he was with memphis. I still would like for the Rox to sign and trade for a bigger 2/3. Johnson,Mason,Wallace someone in that area. I guess swift saw that he really couldn't get more especially since the best 4 was SAR and he signed for mle money. After using one of those expiring contracts, the rox can then resign barry and Deke.

    This is the right market price for him, I think, and it also shows he really wants to be here, which is great.

    there is 2 years 19 milloion left on mo taylors contract there is 5 and 28 left on swift. he got paid for his production. If he increases his production he is an absolute steal.

    Kick A**!!!! :):):)

    Well done CD, JVG & whoever it took to get this done. My opinion of Swift just went up heaps - he chose the chance to win over the almighty dollar.

    Great way to start the day (it's 10am here).

    BTW I was on teh chron website 5 min ago & this wasn't there then. damn quick reporting Aggie

    Swift at the MLE is definitely a coup on CD's part. I have to wonder is there is some side money in thee somehwere to get him to sign at the MLE.

    Next on line should be Mighty Mouse, and his doobie :cool:

    Thank you New Jersey!

    Thank you for going after Abdur-Rahim instead of Swift.

    I am happy. I'm excited about Swift's opportunity to grow with our young stars. Hopefully his game improves as well.

    Since you beat me by 1 minute, I will have to congradulate you. :eek:

    But my thread title is more precise because technically he is NOT a Rocket yet. :p

    Nevertheless, it is a great day for all Rockets fans!!! :D :cool:

    I look forward to a video montage of Stromile to get a glimpse of his talent. Maybe there already is one around here?
