i understand but dont it come out about same by giving them Thomas and Ward contract.then isn't worth it to add a center.that we desprately need.

Ford is a "pure penetrator" and the "quickest player in this years draft"... Jay Bilas. Quicker than Iverson .. no... but close. The 5'10 part... guarding someone bigger point guards.... thats why I wouldn't trade up to get him. Supposedly his shot improved dramatically with some coaching. And Pike, I understand the trepidation with this guy. I'd rather have him than DeJuan Wagner.. Ford knows he's a point.

NY sends the #9 and Spree to Toronto in exchange for Jerome Williams, Eric Montross and Lamond Murray AND THE NUMBER 4 PICK, which NY would use on TJ Ford from Texas. This is when we turn heads in the East and get the cancer out of NY . Then trade rights to Milos to pick up another big man. Murray is a true sf, and Williams would just reb and play defense. With Dice coming back for the late run who could deal with the knicks in the East?

If we get pick 4 Chris Bosh is the only guy that is worthy of the pick--TJ ford could drop in this draft well past 9. Take a look at his neck history and tell me you would draft him even at 9.
