Brooklyn Nets, Oklahoma City resume trade talks
It is no secret the Brooklyn’s Big 3 featuring Brook Lopez, Deron Williams, and Joe Johnson have been placed on the trading block. With the Nets only one game out of the eight and final playoff spot, it should be interesting to see whether the Nets will make any big moves before the trade deadline.
Lopez, a gifted offensive center who is averaging 15.3 points on 50.2 percent shooting this season, has drawn interest from a lot of teams including the Oklahoma City Thunder. Per Basketball Insiders’ Alex Kennedy, the interest is serious and a trade could be coming soon.
Tonight, an executive told me Thunder and Nets are most aggressive teams in trade talks. They want to deal, and may trade with each other.

OKC's interest in Brook Lopez is real. Sam Presti has always liked him, dating back to 2008 draft. Don't be surprised if Thunder land him.
