But..logically speaking..

If Ainge wanted this "pure point" he would have made a different move and not 
signed James. We are stuck with James now. I suppose he could move Delk and 
get a second string pure point, but who exactly would he trade for? Likely 
anyone of substance would cost us a "sweetner" like say Brown or a first Round 
draft pick.
And why do that if you already have your first string point of the future in 
Banks?

Obviously the Celts aren't interest in the FA that qualify like say Mateen 
Cleaves, Omar Cooke, Kenny, Armstrong, because he didn't sign those guys.

Ainge actually commented on this I believe and said there are only like a 
half dozen "real" points in the league and the rest are combo guards. So I don't 
seen him giving up the farm for a real point to back up Banks.

I think the Celtics are done. James is the guy. Actually I have no memory of 
seeing this guy play. What kind of game does he have that makes you think he 
can't possibly be DA's number two?

Alright..now I have to say I don't quite get the Williams thing..
Now if we trade him..wouldn't we have to throw on a sweetner? Why would a 
team with space under the cap want him otherwise? Now if its a team at cap or 
above like us wouldn't they want to trade us back garbage so they don't go over 
the cap?

I think we can just hold on to him. E. Williams has his redeeming qualities. 
He has skills, not like he is embarrasing to have out there. His rebounding is 
only okay, and his defense is overrated, but he can post up on anyone his 
size. Personally I like him better then McCarty...
