T.J. Ford believes that the Pacers have done a great job of remaking their roster and that the infamous brawl at the Palace of Auburn Hills is a thing of the past.

"I think those guys did a fantastic job. For the amount of time Jermaine was in Indiana, I think he took the organization to the top and to the best of his ability," said Ford. "But the team has moved on, and the Indiana Pacers are trying to restore the feeling that those guys had when they first got to Indiana before the brawl."

Ford is excited to have the opportunity to lead Indiana with Jarrett Jack and Travis Diener vying for minutes behind him.

"For me it's a plus either way," said Ford. "I'm in an opportunity to be out there and get the minutes that I want, that I always wanted in the NBA."
