Bucks Trade Ford to Raptors for Villanueva

Yeah, that was an awfully good pick up for the Raptors. And I'm sure gonna enjoy seeing Ford and P.J. Tucker on the court together.

One was me, to the "Mo Williams, he isn't half as good as Ford" comment.

I think time will only tell which player will be better. Their numbers from last season are very similar. Yes, TJ Ford had a worse turnover rate, but I think it evens out - he averaged about two more turnovers per game than Williams, but he also averaged about 2 more assists. My main thing with this trade was that I thought it was awfully quick for the Bucks to deal a guy they spent such a high draft pick on. I also think that TJ Ford will get better with time. This season, he was still getting his legs under him. Williams has not had that kind of injury, and has a year's more experience in the NBA. I like Ford's cieling a lot more than I like Williams'.

I was actually thinking the same thing, Davis. Williams far exceeds Ford in shooting, and ball control. He may not have the speed, but that just may be Ford's downfall, he's too quick for his skill level. ASwaff, Ford was taken with 8th pick in the 2003 draft. Shouldn't you be saying the "awfully quick" comment about the Raptors with Villanueva (taken 7th last year)?

I would be saying that, if I felt the Raptors were headed in a winning direction. But I don't feel that way. Between Ford, Williams, Redd and Bogut, I really felt like the Bucks were building a winning team. That's why I felt their move was a bit more premature than the Raptors'.
