    The easy way out?

    I haven't seen this discussed in any other threads and if it has please forgive...
    Sixers GM has indicated that Snow and Mackie were on the block. This could be our solution to the Francis/PG issue...
    I know ppl here wanted this guy(Snow) for some time now, so it's nothing new. The only difference now is that we have a chance to get him.
    Thoughts...

    Bring in one young competent PG, and watch the Rox's offense soar. What I'm talking about is consistency and offensive flow, not output. That's why it's not important to bring in a PG that scores a lot. We don't need that.

    10PPG, 7apg and 2.2 topg will suit us just fine.

    Man! I wish we got M. Jackson back when he was 31!

    I see .. . . rather than give your car gas on your trip. . .
    go back home and just buy a new one .. .

    You right. .
    it is the easy way out

    and when that car needs gas. .. go back home and get a new one

    see you maybe getting better cars. . or you may not
    but the result is. . . u never complete ya trip

    Well it seems my car has a leek and it doesn't matter how many times we try to fil the hole it doesn't work!
    Think of Snow as a solution to repare the leek we haven't used yet! ;)

    PG Steve Francis (16.9 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 5.9 apg in 40.0 minutes)
    Houston receives: PG Eric Snow (10.6 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 7.0 apg in 35.9 minutes)
    PF Kenny Thomas (11.1 ppg, 9.5 rpg, 1.1 apg in 33.5 minutes)

    Philadelphia trades: PG Eric Snow (10.6 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 7.0 apg in 35.9 minutes)
    PF Kenny Thomas (11.1 ppg, 9.5 rpg, 1.1 apg in 33.5 minutes)
    SG Allen Iverson (27.4 ppg, 4.0 rpg, 6.3 apg in 42.7 minutes)

    Change in team outlook: -15.5 ppg, -4.3 rpg, and -6.7 apg.

    TRADE ACCEPTED

    There were BYC players involved in this trade, so this trade is subject to the BYC provisions of the CBA. Due to Houston and Philadelphia being over the cap, the 15% trade rule is invoked. Houston and Philadelphia had to be no more than 115% plus $100,000 of the salary given out unless trade exceptions were used for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.

    :D :cool: :)
