So Peter Vecsey, an NBA writer if you were not aware, released this tweet earlier today:

Peter Vecsey ‏@PeterVecsey1

Boston source labels KG-Hibbert trade report (close to going down) as sheer pretend. C's did receive call f BK re KG. Kris & MarShon, no way

This obviously indicates that the Nets did or still do have interest in Garnett as a possible addition to the Nets. However the Hump & Brooks standard package was not enough.

I asked him in response:

Max Rodriguez ‏@njmaxrod

@PeterVecsey1 Any way Brooklyn can make it happen?

And he replied:

Peter Vecsey ‏@PeterVecsey1

@njmaxrod Does not appear so. Either with KG or Gay. Nets may have 2 downgrade desires for SF or PF

So the Nets apparently do not have the assets for either of those two. It's something that was known, but this confirms it.

I inquired further on this:

Max Rodriguez ‏@njmaxrod

@PeterVecsey1 Are you hearing anything on that front? Is Paul Millsap realistic?

He responded with a simple and plain:

Peter Vecsey ‏@PeterVecsey1

@njmaxrod No

So apparently the Nets will need to adjust their desires in order to make an upgrade as their targets are currently unattainable. I hope all of you found this interesting. I felt as though it was worth sharing.
