With the Nets less and less likely to get one of the top-tier free agents come July, they've set their sights on February. Al Iannazzone reports the Nets have told the Suns, Raptors and Jazz if they want to move their free agents, the Nets are interested. That's Amar'e Stoudemire, Chris Bosh and Carlos Boozer. Iannazzone describes the talks as exploratory and not likely to get serious until close to the deadline.
