"Things could get ugly between the Pacers and T.J. Ford.

The Pacers - like they've been doing for quite some time - tried to trade Ford on Wednesday.

They couldn't throw him in a deal so they then tried to negotiate a buyout with him.

The Pacers wanted Ford to take a buyout for about $5 million.

The point guard quickly shot that idea down.

"I'm not taking a buyout," Ford said.

You can't blame Ford for not taking a buyout, especially since he's scheduled to make $8.5 million next season"
