The Indiana Pacers announced Wednesday two trades that bring seven new faces to the team. In a deal with Toronto, the Pacers acquired T.J. Ford, Rasho Nesterovic, Maceo Baston, and Roy Hibbert (the 17th overall pick in June?s NBA draft) for Jermaine O?Neal and Nathan Jawai (the 41st pick in the draft).

?We?re very excited about the trades we made,? said Pacers' President of Basketball Larry Bird. ?We know we got some good character guys and good players. I just want to help the franchise move forward, and we feel with the draft, we know we picked up two good guys that our fans are going to be very supportive of and excited about.?

Added Pacers' Coach Jim O?Brien, ?I think Larry and (General Manager) David Morway did an outstanding job in changing around our basketball team, both with the trades and the picks. Our team will have a completely different look next year. Overall, the seven new players we have give us a completely different look than we had last year, and we have maintained the guys that got the majority of playing time at the end of last season."
