J-Will Trade Rumors

Not much backing these up, but Jason Williams has been (unsurprisingly) the subject of the most recent trade rumors for the Miami Heat. Both the Herald and NY Daily News have mentioned a potential trade between Miami and Memphis for Mike Miller and maybe Stromile Swift. We would be giving up Williams and/or Ricky Davis.

Miller wouldn't be a bad fit, but I don't see him as the answer to our struggles. Davis and Williams have expiring contracts and represent pretty much the only trade chips we have. I don't think we can afford to trade Haslem, Wright or Cook, unless we get wowed with an offer of course. Blount and Parker are about as enticing as Shaq is at this point. Honestly I don't think this team can be fixed with one move unless the Kings go crazy and give us Artest and Bibby.

Other rumors have the Rockets expressing an interest in Williams. However, they don't have anything matching Williams' contract that is of any value. I seriously doubt they would consider trading Battier, and I'll take a pass on Mike James. Bonzi Wells hasn't played up to the level he displayed as a King in the playoffs a few years back, and Luis Scola doesn't make a whole lot of money. Maybe they'll trade us Yao Ming for JWill and Earl Barron.
