TJ Ford Raptors MIX by LONGER

errance Jerod "T. J." Ford (born March 24, 1983, in Houston, Texas) is an American professional basketball player in the National Basketball Association (NBA) who plays for the Indiana Pacers as point guard. Having been awarded numerous top basketball accolades in high school and college, Ford entered the 2003 NBA Draft and was selected eighth overall by the Milwaukee Bucks. Ford's recurring back injuries resulted in him missing many games in his three seasons with the Bucks, but in 2005, it was announced that he was fit to play basketball again. Ford was traded to the Raptors prior to the 200607 NBA season, and established himself as the starting point guard, helping the team win the Atlantic Division crown and reach the 2007 NBA Playoffs. Following an injury sustained in the 200708 NBA season however, Ford had difficulties reclaiming the starting spot and was traded to Indiana. Off the court, Ford set up the TJ Ford Foundation in 2004 to help participants achieve their academic, personal and civil goals.
On the eve of the 2008 NBA Draft, it was reported that the Raptors had traded Ford to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Jermaine O'Neal and the 41st pick in the draft (Nathan Jawai). The Raptors sent Indiana Rasho Nesterovič, Maceo Baston and the 17th pick in the draft (Roy Hibbert), and because Ford's contract made him a "base-year compensation" player, the trade was only finalized on July 9, 2008.[29] Ford got off to a good start with his new team, with the Pacers alternating between him and Jarrett Jack for the starting point guard position. While the occasional injury prevented Ford from performing at the optimal level all the time, he was able to keep up his game of attacking the basket. On February 1, 2009, he scored a career-high 36 points in a game against the New York Knicks, a week after tying his previous career-high of 34 points

Man, we definitely need TJ back in the line up. Calderon is doing amazing, don't get me wrong. But its still very stressful and tiring to be playing 40+ minutes per game. Especially those back to back games on the road.

TJ GET WELL SOON MAN!

?? prezec wouldnt be able to be traded because of tj's salary was something around 8-11 mill and brezecs is like 1-4 mill. and im pretty sure pacers wanted some considerable talent for a six time all star

[BrownNProud112]
