The Nets have been involved in discussions of a trade that would send MarShon Brooks to the Timberwolves, multiple sources told the Daily News.

Minnesota has shown interest in the third-year guard out of Providence, calling around the league for feedback and initiating trade discussions. Talks have not escalated to anything serious or imminent at the moment, according to a source. However, another source said that a proposal is on the table waiting for the Timberwolves' approval.

The Timberwolves have an excess of experienced point guards, and the Nets could use one because CJ Watson will opt out of contract by the June 30 deadline. JJ Barea and Luke Ridnour would seem to fit the Nets’ needs, although it's unclear if they've been discussed in trade scenarios.

Both point guards earn more money than Brooks, however, and other players would have to be added to a trade to make salaries match. In the past the Nets have also shown an interest in Minnesota’s Andrei Kirilenko.

The Nets pick 22nd in the draft Thursday. The Timberwolves pick 26th.

Brooks is definitely worth a second round pick, if that's all that it takes.

He has potential sixth man type potential. His face-up game is impressive.

That would be a steal if the wolves could get Brooks.

Although that team fails year after year during the regular season so it doesn't matter who they have on their team.

I'd trade our pick for him, then again I'm not as good at drafting as Morey. But we need to fill the loss of Delfino/Garcia somehow.

Agreed. Hopefully, we can find a way to bring Garcia back for the minimum.

But, yeah, Brooks is an intriguing player. I see many similarities between his game and a guy like Corey Brewer's. Brewer is a name I've seen mentioned a few times in the GARM.

"The next Kobe" even has the Afro Kobe had.

Brooks is a quality starter type in the NBA. Any number of teams that need a 2 guard should be calling about him. Lac,trailblazers,Utah,Dallas are just a few imo-
