    Now that it looks like:
    Snyder, Wells, James for Green and Jackson
    I'm not too down on this.
    We get out from James' contract and poor attitude
    We get the backup PG that James/Francis couldn't be
    Snyder doesn't matter and we open a roster spot
    The cost is downgrading from Bonzi to Green

    I'd rather keep Bonzi, but this isn't an awful loss - as others have mentioned, it's a dice roll every night as to whether he shows up or not. 51 games, and only 9 times does he score 15 points or more, and only once did he do so in back-to-back games. We all were hoping to see a Bonzi Wells that wasn't going to show up, at least not more than a couple times a month.

    Green's no better in that regard, but there's always the *chance* that we could get his career going (still only 22, insane athlete, and a Houston guy).

    It's not likely we were going to keep Bonzi after this year, anyway.

    I give the combined moves a C+
