Houston Looking At Snow?

Quote:
Could it be that Tuesday's blockbuster trade involving Tracy McGrady and Steve Francis might have a direct effect on the Sixers?

With Houston looking for a point guard to get the ball to McGrady and Yao Ming, and coach Jeff Van Gundy known to be a fan of Eric Snow, perhaps the Sixers and Rockets could work something out.

Sixers president Billy King denied Tuesday night that he has had any conversations with Houston about Snow.

Snow's four-year, $25.6 million contract extension is set to kick in after he earns $4.875 million next season.

The Rocket with the closest salary to Snow is Juwan Howard, who was part of Tuesday's trade. Howard is making $5.4 million with at least three more guaranteed years after that, followed by a player option for a fourth in 2008-09.

One possibility would be to get a third team involved. Last February, there were discussions about Snow going to Orlando, Howard to Minnesota and Michael Olowokandi to the Sixers.

I'm not surprised. Houston's desperate to get any PG not named Lue.

One on one, even one on two, when the guy they call the Answer is on a one-way trip to the basket, you better just foul him. People can hate all day about the number of shot attempts. But, damn, give him props for even getting them up. He's small enough to have every shot contested. That 39% shooting sounds terrible to the regular reader, but have you seen these NBA players lately?"

Snow would be a perfect fit in a team, where he's behind Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. Thing is though, we wouldn't have to take Howard's contract back. The Rockets have a $6.9 mill trade exception (that expires this offseason), we can trade with them and get the amount Snow earns this year back in trade exception money.

Combine that with the $1 million we already have from the Monty Williams trade last offseason, and we'd have $5.875 mill worth of trade exception, that we could trade someplace else for a servicable player.
