Coach Calipari will probably want a player with some size in return if
he trades Williams.  I feel that this would be a multi player deal if we
wanted to obtain Williams.  Dana Barros will not attract a J. Williams
caliber player straight up.   

I don't feel that a pick for pick trade would work, due to the fact that
it is a big risk for either team.  I don't see where NJ or the C's are a
clear front runner in the standings this year.
