Tinsley's days in Indy numbered?: 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. But while Yahoo! 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.

Injury Report
Knee - Expected to be ready for 2008-09 training camp (Updated - 4/17/08)
Fantasy Analysis
A deal can't be finalized until July 1, when Ford's base-year compensation tag comes off the books, and Yahoo! said O'Neal and Ford must still pass physicals. What does this mean for Jamaal Tinsley? It would mean his days in Indiana are likely numbered. The relationship between him and the team was already strained and he missed the final 33 games of the regular season with an injury that seemed to linger way too long. Perhaps this trade could be the start of something good for Tinsley, who would find new life as a starting point guard on another team. When he's right, he's a No. 2 caliber Fantasy guard. If he were to be in a timeshare situation with Ford in Indiana, though, his value would be low-end. (Updated 06/26/2008).
