Don’t even say it! This has nothing to do with Kanye whispering into Hov’s ear. Lol. Looks like the Hump may be on his way out of Brooklyn. Report after the jump…
According to Chris Broussard at ESPN:
The Nets and Bobcats have had discussions about a trade that would send Charlotte’s Ben Gordon to Brooklyn for Kris Humphries, according to league sources.
The talks are ongoing, but sources said no trade is imminent.
A Gordon-for-Humphries trade works financially as both players make $12 million a year.
The Nets’ interest in Gordon stems from their need for better ways to space the floor. Ranked 21st in the league in 3-point shooting, Brooklyn regularly has seen opponents clog the lane.
Gordon, averaging 13.1 points per game for Charlotte, is shooting 41.7 percent from beyond the arc and would open up things inside for the Nets. Brooklyn envisions Gordon as a third guard who would come off the bench and play a role similar to those played by J.R. Smith with the New York Knicks and Jason Terry with the Boston Celtics.
The move also would give the Nets the option of going small with Gerald Wallace, Joe Johnson,Deron Williams and Gordon joining Brook Lopez at the end of games.
