Swift's a Rocket!!!
I'm stunned, thrilled and can't wait for training camp!
Clutch Fans broke the story...no surprise there. Jonathan Feigen reports that Swift will likely get a 5-year deal at the Mid-Level Exception.
Now if Damon Stoudamire gets in the fold as expected, I suspect you'll see something like:
PG - Stoudamire, James
SG - Sura, Head, Barry
SF - McGrady, Glover(?)
PF - Swift, Howard
C - Ming, Mutombo
Dion Glover and Lonny Baxter are playing great in the Minnesota Summer League, and Glover would be a perfect fit as T-Mac's backup at the 3. Congrats to the Rockets for their persistence! I never thought I'd see a 25 year-old "potential" guy like Stromile take less money to go after a championship, but it certainly appears to be what happened.

Aren't you the same guy who lambasted me for suggesting the Rockets sign Swift? Now you're thrilled and can't wait for training camp? I guess somebody drank CD's magical Kool Aid.
I never lambasted the signing of Swift, but I did predict that there's no way a 25 y/o who has proven nothing and is essentially 100% "upside" would sign for the MLE in a market where Sam Dalembert is getting $70 million. I was wrong.
Ahhhh, the three sweetest words in the English language..."Scott was wrong." Awesome.
