I'm just catching up on 400+  e-mails/posts having been in Louisiana and 
Texas the past several days. Here's a different twist to you query. Instead of 
Charlie Ward, what about instead trying to offer the Knicks JJ for Frank 
Williams? Actually, that wouldn't work straight up but a two for two deal of JJ and 
McCarty for Frank Williams and Doleac does work per RealGM's trade checker.

With the Knicks now have Marbury and Moochie Norris  I can't see FW sticking 
around once his rookie deal expires and he sure won't be getting much PT with 
Marbury as the new superstar PG in town. Ainge might have to add a sweetener 
since Doleac's contract expires at the end of this season  --- perhaps the C's 
2nd rounder this year and/or a future 2nd? 

It would strengthen the PG depth and also end all the "I Hate Waltah" 
hysteria that seems en vogue not to mention immediately create some PT for  Hunter 
what with Baker's suspension.
