Three-team trade will see Nets acquire Jarrett Jack and Sergey Karasev from Cleveland. Boston gets Thornton, Zeller and a first

Ok..the Cavs are moving some people today.

Absolutely certain the pick is coming from Cleveland.  The Nets are taking on the salary dump from Cleveland; no need for them to send out a first.

This is incredible... one trade and we have like ripped off the Nets from pretty much all their future 1st rounders.

Considering that the TPE is probably used here, and that TPE was concocted based on the trade last year with the Nets.

What are the C's sending out? Not just the trade exception?

young center with a first round pick

I like it for us

Cleveland clearing more cap space? sign for more to come for them? When Danny Ainge said fireworks, did he mean he was helping Cleveland make some fireworks ;)

jk jk

I like this for us...I actually like Zeller...let's see how he develops under Stevens

This must involve the TPE. Depending on the pick, seems like a decent haul. Thornton is on an expiring, so can potentially be used at the trade deadline to trade for someone.

I'm guessing nothing but a trade exception

This is quite probable, but the Nets were very high on Jack and they are intent on competing so I don't think they view this as a salary dump but an upgrade in roster.

Also, this is likely contingent on the Cavs actually signing LeBron.
So, the first round pick from Cavs will be late 1st round, I'd imagine.
But still, pretty good.

Pick almost certainly coming from the Cavs (or one of the ones they own anyways).  They had to include assets to dump Jack, Jeremy Lin style.  Luckily BKN is a part of it too though so we can just take on an expiring in Thornton as opposed to a 2 year deal in Jack.

No brainer move for Celtics, and exactly the type of move a team that's tanking/rebuilding should be using their TPE and non-guaranteed contracts for.

Sorry, was going to say this was from the Nets but looks like the Cavs I guess!
