ONeil Trade

Huge trade (O'Neil and the 41st pick for T.J. Ford, Rasho Nesterovic,
Maceo Baston and the #17 pick in tonight's draft).

If Jermaine is healthy, this is a huge plus for the Raptors who can
now play O'Neil and budding superstar Chris Bosh together along with
playmaker Jose Calderon.

This trade means the Pacers can finally trade or cut Jamall Tinsley.
But what worries me is T.J. Ford's health. With his neck injuries the
past couple of seasons, he may be nor more reliable than either O'Neil
or Tinsley were.

I like Baston coming back to Indiana. He was a good player when he
was here in the 2006-7 season even though he is a bit old at 33 years
of age. He should be a good backup for Granger.

Pacers now have 2 first round picks in tonight's draft, so I'm hoping
they draft a PG and a C or PF. They need to think about replacing
Foster soon.
