Cavs Unlikely to Trade Snow's Contract

After the Cavs play the Golden State Warriors on Jan. 23, they intend to file paperwork to get Eric Snow declared disabled and removed from their roster. Under the rules, Snow has to miss 41 games this season and that will be the date. If all hurdles are cleared, and there are many of them, including reviews by an independent doctor, the Cavs will save $11 million. It comes in luxury tax savings and insurance payments.

Because of this, the Cavs are not planning to use Snow's $7 million contract in a trade. If they traded him, his new team would not be able to get him declared disabled under the rules, so put that out of your mind.
