First deal of trade deadline, #Nets send @jasonterry31 and @ReggieEvans30 to #Kings for Marcus Thornton. Good deal for Nets, solid 7-8th man

Prokhorov must play a lot of @NBA2K, because Marcus Thornton is a top 5 scorer when you play in simulation mode. #NBATradeDeadline

Knowing our luck, Jason Terry and Reggie Evans for Marcus Thornton will be the “biggest” deal we see this Trade Deadline.
