Pacers Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

Thu, 03 Jul 2008 03:27:04 PDT

The Pacers' roster makeover began sooner than expected.

Team president Larry Bird wasted little time in moving disgruntled six-time All-Star Jermaine O'Neal.

O'Neal, who spent eight years with the Pacers, is on his way to Toronto, along with Indiana's second-round pick, center Nathan Jawai, in the draft, for point guard T.J. Ford, center Rasho Nesterovic, forward Maceo Baston and the Raptors' first-round pick, Georgetown center Roy Hibbert.

The trade cannot be finalized until July 9, after the league's mandatory moratorium period ends and Ford's base-year compensation tag expires.

"So many things have happened in the entire organization, it became so super negative," O'Neal said.
