The latest NBA trade rumor on deadline day has Oklahoma City sending Reggie Jackson and other players to Brooklyn in a package for Brook Lopez.
The Thunder have long coveted Lopez and appear close to finally landing him, sources told Yahoo.
The key component to the deal is convincing Jackson to pledge loyalty to Brooklyn. Jackson will be a restricted free agent this offseason.
If the deal gets done, the Nets would move Jarrett Jack in a separate deal to clear the backcourt a bit. Jackson would likely start at point guard, fulfilling his desire.
