Why the f did the Lakers waive Swider? They still need 3-point shooting, and he could help them with that.

Porous defender. Bad decision maker. Offers nothing but shooting and showed no improvement year to year.

Should give Svi one more chance if we need a shooter.

He had a better BBIQ than Cole.

Good luck CS!
Swider will get looks from other teams because he has a legit 3 point shot.

He averaged 17.1 points on 43.6% 3-point shooting for the SoBay Lakers. In SL he averaged 15.2 points and shot 42.5% from 3.

If he can improve defensively and become a better rebounder he has a chance to contribute somewhere, be it NBA or G - League. I wish him well.

Unless he starts grabbing boards and passes like K.Love, hard to get pass the slow feet on defense

I wish him luck but it is hard to make it in the NBA with cinder blocks for feet.

Poor guy. I swear I saw him trip over his own feet on more than one occasion in summer league.

Had high hopes for Swider. He'll get paid to play basketball somewhere. He can def make it overseas but the NBA may just be a level too high for him. His shooting is absolutely lethal, and a NBA team may take one last look at him b/f he heads overseas.
