Re: Kirk Snyder
I think Houston did pick up his qualifying offer last season, but don't quote me on this one.
In Houston, the guy was never given a rotation spot. Earlier last season he was getting about 15 minutes until he fractured his wrist. After that, he just fell out of the rotation and never really got a chance. He does have a good defensive mentality partially because his tenure with JVG, and he does have some decent athleticism.
This year him and Adelman never really got on the same page. So he didn't ever get to play.
My only problem is his attitude. Talk has it that he is somewhat of a locker room cancer and his history with coaches kind of shows it. He had run ins with Jerry Sloan, Byron Scott, JVG, and Adelman so the history is there. And when JVG was asked about that trade on a local radio show, he said that he thought it was a great trade and they they got rid of all the "knuckleheads"
Overall though, good trade, Houston needed salary cap releif for a player who was out of rotation, and Minnesota picked up a decent wing player.
