O’Neal To Toronto For Ford
Hooped Up | June 25, 2008
After a lot of back and forth, Larry Bird has started the revamping of the Indiana Pacers and has agreed to a deal in principal to send forward Jermaine O’Neal to Toronto For T.J. Ford, Rasho Nesterovic and the 17th pick in tomorrows draft.
This is a risky move for both sides as O’Neal and Ford have been hampered by injuries over the last few years. O’Neal’s injured left knee and Ford’s neck has sidelined each of them for much of the 07 - 08 season.

T.J. Ford slipped in when nobody was looking, in a turtleneck and a jacket, arms at his sides. But once the Toronto Raptors ‘ point guard was shown on the big screen 2:50 into the second quarter against Dallas — less than 24 hours after suffering a scary neck injury — it was his smile, and his wave, that attracted a partial standing ovation, and smiles from his teammates.
