The Tokyo Apache's season is finished, but big man Robert Swift's goal of returning to the NBA lives on.
Swift, Earl Barron and Dwayne Jones participated in workouts for the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday, according to published reports. As the sixth-seeded Blazers prepare to face the No. 3 Dallas Mavericks in the opening round, gear up for postseason play, another big body was at the top of the team's wish list.
Swift was one of Tokyo coach Bob Hill's two big foreign player projects this season; NBA prospect Jeremy Tyler, a potential first-round draft pick in June, was the other.
