"Middie Back!" ought to love this

In a move sure to make Shawn's head explode, the Sixers yesterday traded starting point guard Eric Snow to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Kevin Ollie – who is now on his third stint with the Sixers – and Kedrick Brown, a former first round pick of the Boston Celtics.  GM Billy King and Coach Jim O'Brien both said the move cleared the way for Willie Green to get more playing time.

Excuse me?  I understand the trading of Snow.  He wouldn’t have fit in with the up-tempo game that O'Brien wants to play.  Fine.  Then why get two nobodies for Snow?  You should've drafted Jameer Nelson who, by the way, played in an up-tempo offense and defense in college to start and then you could've traded Snow and a pick for a big man instead of signing Brian Skinner.

Thank you Billy King.  Now I have to start rooting for Orlando.

F*** Billy King! Can I say that? This one is right on the head. If they had just taken Nelson, they wouldn't be in this friggin' mess, and would be able to get someone skilled for Snow. Instead, we are left with that thug A.I., and a bunch of nobodies. I hope Jameer scores 100 points against them this year.
