Ford and center Rasho Nesterovic, according to two people with knowledge of the situation.
The deal could also include Toronto's first-round pick (No. 17) and the Raps would have to throw in at least one other player to make the deal work financially. There are concerns about O'Neal's knees, but Ford's not the healthiest guy around, either. The Pacers covet a point guard and the Raptors are likely salivating over a potential front line of O'Neal, Chris Bosh and Jamario Moon, with Andrea Bargnani also in the mix. The biggest fantasy winner from this trade would be Jose Calderon, who would start at point guard for Toronto.

Re: Pacers & Raptors Talking O'Neal/TJ Ford Trade

A source close to the negotiations confirmed the Raptors have agreed in principle to ship Ford, centre Rasho Nesterovic, the 17th pick in the draft and a player to be named later to Indiana for six-time all-star forward Jermaine O'Neal.


Colangelo made no secret of the fact Ford is available when the Toronto Raptors president and GM met with the media Wednesday, saying he and Ford came to an amicable agreement at season's end to find him another team.

The Toronto Raptors have agreed in principle to acquire forward Jermaine O?Neal from the Indiana Pacers for point guard T.J. Ford, center Rasho Nesterovic, the 17th pick in the draft and a player to be named, Yahoo reported Wednesday.
While Yahool reported the deal, citing an unidentified NBA executive, Raptors general manager Bryan Colangelo told The Canadian Press that he was in the midst of ?four or five? conversations with teams involving Ford and a combination of Toronto?s No. 17 pick and/or other Raptors players.
A deal can?t be finalized until July 1, when Ford?s base-year compensation tag comes off the books, and Yahoo said O?Neal and Ford must still pass physicals.
O?Neal is a six-time All-Star. He averaged 13.6 points and 6.7 rebounds in 42 games last season.

If O'Neal can stay healthy he & Bosh will be a monster duo underneath....
