    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Cavaliers guard Eric Snow is a candidate for the Chicago Bulls' head coaching job, according to Snow's agent, Steve Kauffman.
    "This is unusual because [Snow] is technically an active player," Kauffman said. "We're hopeful Eric can have an interview with the Bulls, but there are issues contractually that have to be worked out because of disability insurance."

    "When you're going through a disability claim, you often have to show that you're trying to make a comeback," Kauffman said. "In this situation, that might be very difficult.

    "This probably would've worked out better if things wouldn't have leaked."</div>

    Good for him, I say. Hopefully his salary will be taken off the Cavs cap if he gets the job. He deserves it, too, he acted more as a Player-Assistant Coach than anything else in the final couple of years.

    Seems like the kind of guy Pax might like. A PG. Cheap contract. He probably won't mind it when Pax calls him on the cell phone to make substitutions.

    Disability retirement papers are beginning to be filed by the Cavs for Eric Snow:

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Akron Beacon Journal)</div><div class='quotemain'>The Cavs have already started the paperwork with the league office on getting Eric Snow approved for disability retirement. There are lots of hoops to jump through, but Snow says that his left knee is bone-on-bone, and that he's probably done.

    If all the proper parties sign off, Snow's $7.3 million could be taken off the Cavs' books for luxury-tax purposes.

    It is also possible that the NBA could grant the Cavs an exception of up to half of Snow's salary ($3.7 million) to use to sign another player or to use in a trade.</div>

    Looking like they're trying to get things sorted for him so he can get everything in order perhaps even before the draft so he can help make key decisions.
