Indiana/Toronto trade is going down

Ford, pick, filler, and Rasho for Jermaine.

I think this is an excellent trade for Indiana for sure.  Could be great for Toronto, depending on Jermaine's knee (I honestly am not as concerned about Ford's injury history).  Rasho was blowing up at the end of the year (may mean nothing, but he is at least serviceable), and with two picks, Indiana might have some ballast to send with Tinsley for someone decent.  Huge move for Indiana.

 

If Jermaine can play a nearly-full season, Toronto has a shot at a deep playoff run.  I would peg their ceiling at the conference finals, pending on what goes down with Detroit in the offseason, and how Boston looks next year.  Kind of like a more well rounded Orlando.  Dangerous, but not a sure bet.
