ESPN's David Aldrige reports that the 76ers have traded Eric Snow to the Cavs for Kevin Ollie and Kedrick Brown

Beat me to it... It's official now... http://www.nba.com/cavaliers/news/snow_040720.html

Now they have Snow and McInnis... I don't get it?!

by **Jackal** on Wed Jul 21, 2004 5:36 am

You think they would start him at the 2? I don't get this...another trade?

What's happening in Philly..

by **fgrep15** on Wed Jul 21, 2004 5:45 am

Actually Philly was planning on playing Iverson at the point again just so everyone knows, Snow was going to be coming off the bench, I'm interested in seeing how that works (Ivy at the point).
Green, Salmons or Iggy will be starting at the 2.

pretty good deal for philly

they save money- snow is owed 30 mil for 5 more years, ollie only makes around 3mil for the next 4. k brown, even though i heard he's pulling a kemp, brings more athleticism on the wing. he's on an expiring contract so philly doesnt have to worry if he doesnt pan out

iggy is just as talented as snow, he just doesn't have as much experience. salmons can fill in some mintues also. and ollie is solid. i think philly will be fine with those 3 taking over snow's role

but snow was the only guy Kobe claimed gives him some trouble

I think its a good deal for da Cavs.They can start Snow,he's better than McGinnis.McGinnis off the bench.If Snow messes up Lebron's game,just bench him.Works out for errybody

good pick up by cavaliers.. they'll prolly start him at the point w/ james at the 2 .. adds some leadership too, good defender

by **Micchy_boy** on Wed Jul 21, 2004 1:53 pm

nope jeff still start at PG and snow will come from the bench according to coach paul.

good for cavs they got 2 quality Pg with great leadership which lack them last season esp when jeff was down with injury.

hate the cav's except BnTH.

Maybe LeBron can learn a thing or two from Snow?

I'll trust that it's a good deal for both teams. It certainly seems like a good deal for the Cavaliers. If McInnis proves to be unmotivated (or his attitude interferes with the team some other way) Snow is perfectly capable of being a starting point guard in the NBA.

by **th3gh05t** on Thu Jul 22, 2004 5:54 am

well, mcinnis is more of a darrell armstrong to me, good scoring outbursts off the bench.

i think snow is better coz he's mentally strong, physically as well. he plays tough defense. i didnt see cleveland as a defensive team last year, with snow, at least they have some sort of stopper for opposing guards.

also, snow doesnt look to shoot, he will set james up. =) more reason to play him. :lol:

that Z guy should play tougher. i hate when a lot of european players play like wuss. but then, its really different in NBA than euro league. if z played like gasol. they would make the playoffs easily. that boozer messed cleveland. $!&$(!@*^$!@(*!@$(*!@(%*!@(*^!@(*^$

i liked kedrick brown, but he never developed.

Decent deal for both teams. Both Snow and McInnis are accustomed to starting, although that does give them a lot of depth at the point. The 76ers dumped Snow's bad contract, but I thought they could've gotten a little more...

I think the Cavs are going to try to package Wagner and one of their wings for a PF...

by **ATTENTIONWHORE** on Thu Jul 22, 2004 2:23 pm

Very good pickup by the Cavs. (Y)

by **Drex** on Thu Jul 22, 2004 2:50 pm

I'm starting to like this trade more. Iverson now plays the PG and the Sixers can start Iggy and Robinson (trade Glenn Robinson! I hate him! :evil:

) , also, more playing time for Green and other players I don't remember right now

. For the Cavs, they have good adittion in Snow. He's a very good defender, can teach 'Bron a little. He's a good passer, too. Good back-up for McInnis.

Don't forget the Sixers can possibly get Antonie Walker (even though I hate him it will be a good addition for them). It would be nice if they could trade for him without trading one of their top players and their lineup can be:

C-Skinner or Dalembert
PF-Walker
SF-Grob
SG-IGGY!
PG-AI

thats playoff material

It is, don't know if Billy and OBie would give up Daly (who I'm pretty sure the Mavs would want) for Walker though. Might because they have Skinner/Jackson already. The main question there is, is one ball enough for those 3 ball-friendly players (Walker, Big Dog, AI)?

by **twolvezfanfoever** on Fri Jul 23, 2004 7:39 am

They need to get rid of Big dog,get Toine,and never put AI at point.No matter how small he is

he is goign to eventually need to move to the point, because his body can't take the beaten from bigger guards like Kobe, McGrady, Carter, Pierce, etc. forever

What's wrong with AI at the point? His rookie season he played the point and he averaged more assists than any other season (7.5).

No, no, no, no, no :scold:

. Please no. Not Walker (N)

. He...sucks! Well, he doesn't, but he has a terrible shot selection. The Sixers need good scorers, players capable of hitting the open shot, but not low-FG% players like Walker. I would kick myself is this ever happen :evil:

Well Walker really thrived under OB. He's also a "capable of hitting the open shot" even though OB really has to put the harness on his shot selection if they're going to reunite, I agree with you on this. The thing about Walker though, is he's a leader on and off the court and a playmaker. Basically in Boston it was either Walker or PP with the ball and they would create. Walker also played a good amount of point forward in Dallas, so adding another playmaker is a good idea IMO. I would do the rumored Walker for Robinson-Green deal Dallas wants.

by **MaD_hAND1e** on Fri Jul 23, 2004 8:51 pm

They could get Stack back and try that combo all over again :lol:

or then again, I think the Sixers should've signed a shooter such as Turkoglu or trade for Giricek. I remember when they had Kukoc, he was a pretty good open jump shooter off the bench, maybe they could get someone like him
