<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Cavaliers appeared to create a logjam at point guard when they traded for Eric Snow this offseason, but head coach Paul Silas cleared up the problem on Tuesday. Snow will move to shooting guard, and Jeff McInnis will remain at point. Snow told the Cleveland Plain Dealer, "[Looking to score more is] probably the biggest adjustment I'll have to make, but this offense doesn't call for the two-guard to shoot 20 times per game. It will be an adjustment but I can do the same things that I've done before without having the ball - still talk, still try to direct and try to lead although I won't have the ball in my hands as much."</div> <div align="center">Link</div> The Cavs are going to rely on Snow for some scoring? This is a surprise. I now the type of player Snow is and I've been watching he since he came to Philly and let me tell you, he is not much of an offensive player. And with that being said, I highly doubt Snow will try to do things out of his reach. He knows his boundaries and scoring isn't part of it. Snow may be the SG, but still look for him to get James involved like he did with Iverson in Philly. Snow is comfortable at settings guys up and I doubt this was a wise move be Silas because it?s putting Snow at a tough spot since he's offensively challenged. However, like I said above, even though he may be looking to get James involved rather then getting his own points, the fact of him playing SG is pretty much mandatory that he is going to have to step his scoring up a notch regardless. So good luck to Snow. If Snow was able to keep up an up-tempo style of play like Jeff McInnis, McInnis should have been the one placed at SG because he?s obviously a better scorer than Snow. But we'll have to see how things play out and if was indeed a wise move by Silas to move Snow at the SG.
I really cannot imagine LeBron "King" James at SF, sorry. I dont think he would be that affective at SF as he is/was at PG & SG. I think the only positions that LeBron could really play is PG/SG. This might be a test, and I am looking foward to seeing him play at the SF position.
Yes, this is going to be a big test for both LeBron and Snow. I think Snow can do the job, but I'm really concerned with LeBron at SF. Like said above, it's going to be a big test for both.
LeBron has the size to handle SF. But he should really develop a post game. He'll probably be a point-forward type player much of time, like Scottie Pippen.

By the way,I think Snow should run PG for the Cavs,while Snow is a pure PG,Mcinnis is a combo guard type player and should be playing SG if both Mcinnis and Snow are going to start in the Cavs backcourt.
It was only a matter of time until LeBron moved to the 3 spot. Hopefully he's still on the Guard spot in the All-Star ballot, because otherwise he would be taking away VC's votes. I don't think the move with Snow at the 2 will last long. Snow is a true point Guard, who can defend very well. McInnis started at SG in the begginning of the year of last season with the Blazers, playing with Stoudamire in the backcourt. Eventually this season, they're going to see that Snow isn't really a good enough scoring threat to play the SG, and he'll be moved to the Point, with McInnis at the 2.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting mustafa_shakur:</div><div class="quote_post">I imagine him playing a doug christie type role. The SG doesn't always have to be a chucker.</div> Without the decent perimeter shooting. Snow has somewhat improved his shot but we all know he still can't really shoot. But yeah, I forgot that Cleveland even had Snow.
Im assuming that Snow is just jotted down as SG on paper. I expect him to run more plays than Mac will through out the game. It is going to be amazing to have 3 great setup players on the floor together, this may also help Drew get more points and of course, Zydrunas.

This is stupid, LeBron was a PG first but his turnovers were getting to a point where they could cost the cavaliers games according to some people so he's moved to the SG slot and he gets adjusted as soon as he's adjusted then slide him down another notch to SF? I dont get it, he's gonna waste another year getting used to playing SF and in that year he could have done much more. I hope he doesnt play SF for more than Half of the Game because that's going to mess him up and his mentality... I dont know if anyone will agree with me but I think its stupid moving Bron down to SF.
Well there isnt much of an adjustment from SG to SF,Lebron already has a body that can let him fit the first three positions easily.Plus SG and SF's are a very similar position,there is no major difereneces.With a player as versatile as Lebron I highly doubt it will be a problem for him.
Snow is not much of a shooter. He shot .111% from 3point range last season and he shoots for his caerer .201% from beyond the arc. Snow througout his whole career has never shot atleast 30% from 3. He is more of a defensive guard who will be a great sxith man for the Cavaliers.
Snow at SG would actually be a good idea. He is a good defender, especially in transition, and can be the one that stays on the perimeter on offense and be ready to be the first one back when the opponents try to run a fast break. When the Cavs get a fast break, McInnis would handle the ball and Snow can hang back and be an insurance in case the opponents counter the fast break with one of their own.
i think silas is doin this cuz he likes jeff a lot but he doesnt wanna put snow on da bench, so he's movin snow to da two. i think its prolly da best move. but i wud've like to see wagner at da two.
Wagner must prove that he can peform in the NBA still. To start Wags over Mac and Snow would be obsured.
Just because Eric will be playing at SG, doesn't mean he has to be a Iverson type SG. No matter what, the ball will still be in LeBron's hands. But I'm actually a bit surprised. I had Snow at PG and McInnis at SG. McInnis seems to be the player who likes to shoot more. If Wagner continues to impress, we could see this rotation: McInnis/ Wagner Snow/ Jackson James/ Pavlovic Gooden/ Traylor Ilgauskas/ Williams
Our best perimeter shooter is probably Lucious Harris. Jackson, Pavlovic, and Wagner are all unproven with their range.
