Okay, let’s try this again
Seven-foot tattooed wonder Robert Swift made upwards of $3 million last year mostly riding the Thunder bench; he disappeared from the roster approximately twenty seconds after the season ended, and turned up a couple months later in the Celtics’ summer camp.
Well, the mighty Bosstones didn’t sign him, so where is he now? Gone home to Bakersfield, where he hopes to play with the Bakersfield Jam of the NBA Development League.
Swift occasionally showed flashes of brilliance during five years with the Sonics and the Thunder, though just as often he showed signs of fragility: he sat out the entire 2006-07 season after rupturing an ACL sixty seconds into the preseason.
Top pay in the D-League is somewhere around $24k a year, so let’s hope Mr Swift has saved up something of a nest egg.
