According to a report in The Record, the New Jersey Nets have discussed a potential deal with the Indiana Pacers which involves two All-Stars.

The Nets would acquire All-Star power forward Jermaine O'Neal, but it would cost them their own All-Star in high flyer Vince Carter.

There were recent whispers about Carter being offered for Knick forward Zach Randolph, although there was conflicting reports about who made the offer.

The new proposal would send Carter, Marcus Williams, and Jamaal Magloire to Indiana for O'Neal. But O'Neal has a bone bruise in his knee that will sideline him at least two weeks.

In June, the Pacers wanted Richard Jefferson ? provided they found a third team to take him -- Williams and Nenad Krstic for O'Neal. The Nets countered by removing Krstic and adding Jason Collins and Indiana declined.
