Woj: Nets, Thunder in Serious Talks for Lopez, Jackson Swap

The trade deadline is today, and it looks as if Billy King may make at least one move. Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Nets and Thunder are in "serious talks" for a swap of Brook Lopez and a package surrounding Reggie Jackson.

Brooklyn, OKC are in serious talks on Brook Lopez deal for package including Reggie Jackson, league sources tell Yahoo. Story soon on site.

This report doesn't come out of the blue, as the Thunder have been trying for a month to get Brook Lopez away from the Nets.

It is also reported (by Woj) that the Minnesota Timberwolves and Philadelphia 76ers may be in on this deal, and the Nets would send Kevin Garnett to Minnesota, where he began his hall-of-fame career. The Nets would receive Thaddeus Young, a player they have coveted for a long time, from Minnesota.

The Nets need to make a move, and this proposed four team deal comes on the heels of a report that Joe Johnson is being pursued by the Detroit Pistons. 

Brooklyn may be ready to move on from the Deron/Brook/Joe trio, and it looks like Lopez may be the odd-man out in this equation.

Stay tuned for updates.

UPDATE:

Woj is now reporting that the Nets and Thunder talks are advancing rapidly, and has the Nets getting Reggie Jackson, Kendrick Perkins, and Perry Jones III.

The Nets are also looking to unload Jarrett Jack, "clearing the way for Jackson to become the starter and franchise cornerstone. Woj says that the Nets are "committed to turning the team over to Jackson," which tells us exactly how they feel about Deron Williams.
