bosh/o'neal looks like a solid front court

I'm very happy about this as a Raps fan. Not only did they get a proven all star in O'Neal, but they also got rid of useless players like Ford and Nesterovic. There is a risk with his injury problems, but for what they gave up is was way more than worth it.
Look for the Pacers to possibly move up in the draft by packaging the 11th and 17th picks.

Dont Hold Your Breath
I have a sneaking suspicion the Raptors will live to regret this trade.
1) We all know O'neal has a history of injuries
2) If Calderon gets hurt at the point they are screwed
3) Bosh and O'neal play very similar....inside out big men. I see a problem arrising with spacing just as it did with Randolph and Curry on the Knicks this past year
Bosh's numbers will go down Im almost certain. That is if O'neal doesn't get hurt for the entire year. On a side note I found this hilarious spoof of PTI on digitalfuntown. Its pretty damn hilarious.

The thing is though that even if O'Neal gets hurt it isn't a huge deal. I really didn't like Ford and would have been happy if we gave him up for nothing, and Nesterovic was decent, but nothing more than that.
O'Neal gives the team a proven star if he can stay healthy and if not, oh well no loss besides a middle first round pick that would most likely be someone that wouldn't even get minutes this year.
