    Well it's Chad Ford, so I guess we can count on Eric Snow never being a member of the Rockets.

    Hey, if he is dealt for the TE, they could STILL get Barry for the MLE. They could end up with both AND a big man. Yikes! :eek:

    snow is good but how old is he? i dont think he is nearly as quick and agile as he once may have been with all the injuries he has had. I wouldnt mind getting snow,fisher or barry AND a decent backup for Yao, but i dont think getting snow and fisher or any combination of the 3 without trying to also get a backup for Yao is a huge mistake. I think if that rumored pike for ollie deal is true that ollie is a good backup PG that we can use

    How does using the TE on Snow and the MLE on BBarry = getting a big man?

    They went from losing to the Fakers in the first round to making it all the way to the Conference Finals. I'd take the same from the Rockets in 2004-05. And besides, if Cassell and Hudson don't go down with injuries, that series could've turned out a lot differently.

    I sure hope they don't get Snow. I like the fact that he's a true point guard and takes care of the ball, but the Rockets need some one with the ability to catch and shoot. Derek Fisher, Brent Barry(if he's quick enough to cover point guards) or Rafer Alston come to mind.

    If we get Snow with the TE, we should use the MLE on a player of Etan thomas or Keon clark. clark is a natural born shot blocker and thomas is a beast!. clark can backup yao!

    actually if it wasnt for the untimely injuries to both of their main PGs, cassel and hudson I believe the wolves would have been in the finals. I think that even if either hudson or cassel was 100% they would have beaten the lakers, honestly I truly do think that. but it doesnt matter now WE GOT T-MAC

    but he also said that lue will NOT opt out. so i'm guessing that we would only be looking for one PG.

    Should have said we can still use the veteran's exception for a big man.
