Now that the dust has cleared, NBA sports writers are grading deals made at the trading deadline Thursday. The Nets' trade of Marc Jackson and Linton Johnson III for Bostjan Nachbar was seen as one of the more minor. Several writers noted the final grade depends on whether Tim Thomas signs on with New Jersey. Still, the trade got "B"s and "C"s, with Charley Rosen saying Nachbar could help the Nets' running game, just don't expect him to play "D".
