Trail Blazers Acquire Van Exel
July 20, 2004
The Portland Trail Blazers have acquired guard Nick Van Exel from the Golden State Warriors for center Dale Davis and guard Dan Dickau.
"Nick is a quality addition to our backcourt," said Trail Blazers General Manager John Nash. "He has a reputation as a big shot taker and a big shot maker. His versatility and ability to play both point guard and shooting guard gives us greater flexibility."
Van Exel appeared in 39 games (29 starts) for the Warriors last season, averaging 12.6 ppg, 2.7 rpg and 5.3 apg. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound guard scored a season-high 29 points, including 16 of the Warriors 23 fourth quarter points, vs. San Antonio on November 29th and dished out a season-high 11 assists vs. Seattle on January 10th.
Van Exel connected on his 1,361st career three-pointer at Dallas on January 7th to move past Dan Majerle for fifth place on the NBA's all-time three-point list. He came to Golden State in a trade with the Dallas Mavericks on August 18, 2003.
The 11-year NBA-veteran owns career averages of 15.4 ppg, 3.0 rpg and 7.1 apg in 34.3 minutes in 768 games with the L.A. Lakers, Denver, Dallas and Golden State. In 64 career playoff games, Van Exel has averaged 15.7 ppg, 2.4 rpg and 5.1 apg. The 32-year-old has finished in the NBA's top 15 in assists in eight of his 11 seasons, while finishing in the top 25 in assist-to-turnover ratio in each of the last eight seasons. He has scored 20-or-more points 218 times, 30-or-more points 40 times and 40-or-more points five times. Van Exel has recorded 128 career double-doubles.
Van Exel was drafted by the L.A. Lakers in the second round (37th pick overall) of the 1993 NBA Draft. As a senior at the University of Cincinnati, he led the Bearcats in scoring, 18.3 ppg, assists, 4.5 apg, and steals, 1.8 spg, helping lead the team to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament. Van Exel earned Third Team All-America honors as a senior (Associated Press, Basketball Times and Basketball Weekly) and was a finalist for the John Wooden Award as a senior.
He was active in the Warriors community relations efforts this past season, distributing turkeys to Bay Area shelters and non-profit organization through Nick Van Exel's Turkey Drop. Van Exel was honored with the Chopper Travaglini Award for his generosity in the Denver community while a member of the Nuggets.
Cavaliers Acquire Eric Snow from Sixers for Brown and Ollie
CLEVELAND, July 20 – 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, a nine-year NBA veteran, averaged 10.3 points, 6.9 assists and 3.4 rebounds last season and has averages of 8.1 points, 5.5 assists and 2.7 rebounds for his career. In 2003-04, he ranked in the top 10 in the NBA in three categories, including 5th in total assists (563), 6th in assists per game (6.9) and 7th in assists-to-turnovers ratio (3.01:1). Snow was named to the NBA All Defensive Second Team following the 2002-03 season. The 6-3 guard was selected in the second round (43rd overall) of the 1995 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks and immediately traded to Seattle where he played for three seasons before being traded to the Sixers. Snow has appeared in 579 career games with 404 starts. He has appeared in 71 playoff games including the NBA Finals in 1996 and 2001. The Canton, Ohio native finished his career second on Michigan State’s all-time assists list and was named Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year as a senior.
