Eric Snow

[WildThing]

Wake up duder. Get the crust out of your eyes. Snow is waaaay past his prime. Let's put him on the NBA good guys promotional tour with David Robinson and Bob Lanier.

As far as keeping up with TJ, go turn on the classic cartoon network and catch an episode of Roadrunner featuring Wile E. Snow. You get the picture. Beep Beep!

GET A POINT GAURD CLEVELAND AND THEN TALK PLAYOFFS!

He's got a point (no pun intended), but as long as we have Sarunas and a young PG for the future then we'll be set.

I hate how we can't talk without hearing something about the Bucks..arent there any bucks message boards?

Last time I checked, Steve Nash was pretty fast. And I remember Snow totally shutting him down in the 4th quarter of that game early in the season where Z nailed the 3 against PHX. In the first half, he was running circles around J-Mac.

Eric may not be as fast as he used to be, but he can still get his body in front of most PGs in the league - even the so called "fast" ones. Besides, he's stronger than most all PGs and gets a lot of freedom from the refs when he plays that bump-and-run. He really frustrates the guy he's guarding.

I would take E Snow as a 2nd string PG any day. I think people just get hung up on his salary and his lack of a consistent jumper. But, better to look down the bench and see him than Kevin Ollie.

Outright release? Wow...

I don't think they will because of the locker room leadership. Danny Ferry as a former player will keep him around for that reason alone.

We all know he can't shoot and he's getting slower, but his on-ball defense is still very good, and he's a ball control PG.

Lindsey Hunter is more rundown and a worse shooter (shot 31.9% in playoffs) than Eric Snow, but his defense off the bench was good enough to contribute to a Conference Finals team. I think Snow will look good backing up Saras or Damon Stoudamire.

I know that Eric Snow is a good guy but let's face it, his salary is going to be a drawback next year. If we can even find someone who's willing to get him, then I say trade him.

If we're looking to replace him with someone with similar skills, then why not look at a guy like Chris Duhon who'll probably just cost you $2.5M at most since the Bulls are said to be looking at re-signing him at around 2M a year. That 3.5M difference added to our current available $6-7M can get us Sarus and good bench players.

However, after all is said and done, I doubt if we'll find any takers for Snow anyway so I'd rather cheer for him as a fan than get too grumpy about it.
