Really quick: Among the many comments and emails on Friday's column that the time had come to trade T.J. Ford were a few – understandably – wondering for what, to who and how. I can't claim any insight in this regard -- that's Colangelo's job, though off the top of my head the Heat might be looking for a good veteran point guard. Another scenario suggested to me was Donnie Walsh – who everyone is expecting to take the Knicks' president job – making a run at Ford for a team that needs a true point. For who? How about Jamal Crawford? If the Knicks end up hiring Scott Skiles as coach, it's unlikely Crawford would be well-received based on their days together with the Bulls in 2003-04, Skiles's first in Chicago and Crawford's last. The salaries match; the Knicks need a point guard. Crawford would give the Raptors an end-of-shot-clock scorer who can play both guard positions.
Stranger things have happened.
