12:08pm: Mavs GM Donnie Nelson told reporters, including Tim Cato of SB Nation, that Dallas will not be making any moves (link to Twitter).
11:25am: The Celtics also reached out to the Nets about Young, Fischer tweets.
10:54am: The Mavericks have spoken to the Nets to gauge the availability of Thaddeus Young, who has interest in joining a playoff team, reports Jake Fischer of SI Now (Twitter link). Several teams with interest in trading for Young have already attempted to reach Sean Marks, whom Brooklyn hired today as its new GM, Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical on Yahoo Sports tweets.
It was reported yesterday that Young appears the most likely member of the Nets to be traded. What’s the more, the Nets are willing to deal Young, according to Frank Isola of the New York Daily News. The Raptors and Clippers are two other teams that reportedly have interest in Young.
Young, a ninth-year veteran, re-signed with the Nets this past summer on a four-year, $50MM deal. Young has enjoyed a solid season and is averaging 15.1 points and 9.1 rebounds per game.
I wonder what Dallas would have to give up. Young would be a nice addition.
maybe Deron Williams and Devon Harris? LOL
