The Cleveland Cavaliers have acquired guard Eric Snow from the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for forward Kedrick Brown and guard Kevin Ollie, Cavaliers President and General Manager of Basketball Operations Jim Paxson announced today. The deal is contingent upon all players passing physicals.

?This was a great opportunity to add veteran leadership to our team,? Paxson said.

?Specifically, Eric brings depth to our backcourt, a strong defensive presence and great consistency on the offensive end. He is a natural playmaker and Paul (Silas) and I both agree his playoff experience will prove invaluable in the coming seasons.?

Snow averaged 10.3 points, 6.9 assists and 3.4 rebounds last season. Snow was named on the NBA All Defensive Second Team following in 2002-03 season.
