    Eager to have old friend Maurice Williams join him in Milwaukee, Bucks point guard T.J. Ford called Williams at season's end to recruit him -- even before Bucks general manager Larry Harris had the opportunity to contact Williams' agent. Williams stayed at Ford's house for four days while Ford showed him around the city.

    Williams and Ford became friends on the AAU circuit seven years ago, when they were the best point guards from their respective states -- Texas (Ford) and Mississippi (Williams). Fortunately for the Bucks, that friendship turned into a contract, one that might save Milwaukee's season.
