Two from Rotoworld.com earlier
(1) The Pacers and Raptors have discussed a possible deal that would send Jermaine O'Neal to the Raptors for point guard T.J. 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.
(2) There are several trade rumors involving the Miami Heat as Thursday's NBA Draft approaches.
Among the rumors out there are Shawn Marion to the Clippers for Elton Brand, Dwyane Wade to Chicago for the No. 1 pick, Tyrus Thomas and Larry Hughes, and moving Michael Beasley to Seattle for the No. 4 pick and a shot at drafting O.J. Mayo. But we don't suggest you look for the Heat to pass up the chance to draft Beasley on Thursday.
