If that problem could be fixed, then great, but he is still a health concern (I guess that's less of a problem if he's playing reserve minutes, though).<BR/><BR/>I think that Snow would actually not be that bad of a pickup, though. He is solid on D, and is a good vet presence for our youngsters, especially luke. He knows he's a role player too, so we dont have to deal with ego problems. There is something left to be desired on offence, but we have enough firepower for that to not be a problem (considering we have luke as a starter).

However, would like to offer up the following option for moving Watson.<BR/><BR/>Milwaukee Bucks: <BR/>Mo Williams is unrestricted Free Agent and Earl Boykins was a bad fit for them and has a player option which he excised. This leaves them hoping for Conley to be available at 6th spot in the draft or need of another alternative at PG (both starting and reserve roles). <B>TRADE: Watson to Buck for Brian Skinner's expiring contract 5.8 million.</B>mcwalter44https://www.blogger.com/profile/05565716498050495890noreply@blogger.com
