Snow to the Cavs

Per RealGm

'The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired guard Eric Snow from the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for forward Kedrick Brown and guard Kevin Ollie, Cavaliers President and General Manager of Basketball Operations Jim Paxson announced today. The deal is contingent upon all players passing physicals.'

“This was a great opportunity to add veteran leadership to our team,” Paxson said.
“Specifically, Eric brings depth to our backcourt, a strong defensive presence and great consistency on the offensive end. He is a natural playmaker and Paul (Silas) and I both agree his playoff experience will prove invaluable in the coming seasons.”

Snow averaged 10.3 points, 6.9 assists and 3.4 rebounds last season. Snow was named on the NBA All Defensive Second Team following in 2002-03 season.

This is a pretty good deal for the cavs.

They got out of Ollie's ridiculous deal, and got back a player that can really help them. Supposedly Kedrick Brown showed up to summer games 20 pounds over weight. The Cavs were pissed since they chose to protect him instead of Jason Kapono in the expansion draft.


Can anyone give a clue to what the Sixers were thinking?

Not me. Pretty strange move for them.

I believe it saves the Sixers something like $15m over the next five years. Snow isn't getting any younger, either.

I guess the Sixers are confident in Iguodala and John Salmons as their future PGs. Either that, or they're in full rebuilding mode now...

Iggy as a point guard? He didn't even play PG in college! hes more of a SG/SF
