ESPN reporting the Nets have interest in Cavs Jarrett Jack
[box]
ESPN New York reporters, Mike Mazzeo and Ohm Youngmisuk, have reported that the Nets have interest in the Cavaliers Jarrett Jack for possibly Jason Terry.
Many have thought that Brooklyn would be quiet at the deadline but it sounds like Billy King is doing his due diligence and trying to add some scoring off the bench.
Terry hasn’t lit the world on fire this entire season and turns the ball over way too much without much offensive production to offset it so Jack would surely be an upgrade.
League sources say Nets have interest in Cavs’ Jarrett Jack. One source says Jason Terry for Jack could be a possibility before deadline

Scout I spoke with today said #Nets could use post defender/athletic rebounder and/or spark plug-scorer a la Nate Robinson. Jack fits latter — Mike Mazzeo (@MazzESPN) February 17, 2014
UPDATE:
Jack has one more year than Terry plus a $500K guarantee in ’16-’17. Nets like Jack for short-term help but also could get pick out of it.

One avenue Nets are examining to replenish draft-pick stock is a Jason Terry-for-Jarrett Jack swap with Cleveland, source says.

— The Cavs and Brooklyn Nets have engaged in trade talks regarding Jarrett Jack for Jason Terry, a league source said. It’s not on the front burner, the source said. Terry is 36 and has one year left on his contract after this year worth $5.8 million. Jack, 30, has three years left on his deal after this year, only two that are guaranteed. He’ll make $6.3 million in each of the next two seasons.
The NBA Trade Deadline is this Thursday at 3pm.
