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.

So you didn't think it was an article about the Suns unloading Shaq?

Well this is the sports section so it is news lol.

Seriously that makes Toronto (lol Canada) the 3rd or 4th best team in the East after the Celtics, Pistons, and possibly Cavs.

Good trade for both sides too. Both players will be happier on their new team and it gives the Pacers a new direction to build upon.

So you didn't think it was an article about the Suns unloading Shaq? That's precisely what I thought. When Shaq's involved, everybody's interested. This other O'Neal person, only his mama and his new team give a shiite.





And himself, of course
