The Brooklyn Nets were one of the more quiet teams as the deadline approached but they have come roaring out of nowhere to become one of the hottest teams in the market. In addition to looking at adding Jordan Hill from the Lakers and facilitating a Marcus Thornton for Jason Terry and Reggie Evans swap with the Kings, the Nets appear ready to add a third trade that would give them another big man.
According to Wall Street Journal Nets writer Alex Raskin, the Nets look interested in adding another big man in a possible third trade at the deadline.
The Hill talks are still going strong, so I might be wrong. Apparently the #Nets are open to adding another big.

This could mean that the Jordan Hill talks are cooling, but it could also meant that the Nets are just keeping other options open incase another deal falls through.
Either way, the Nets have gone from being banged up and dormant to loud and dominant on the trade scene this week.
