The Brooklyn Nets are interested in acquiring Cavaliers point guard Jarrett Jack and have had discussions about a potential trade with Cleveland involving Jason Terry, according to sources briefed on the talks.

The Nets (24-27) emerged from the All-Star break sitting 3½ games behind the Atlantic Division-leading Toronto Raptors and want to upgrade their bench and backcourt.

Jack, 30, is averaging just 8.5 points on 39.7 percent shooting in 25 minutes a game in his first season with the Cavs after a strong 2012-13 season with Golden State.

Sources told ESPN.com that the Nets, eager to add a proven ballhandler and backcourt scorer to their bench rotation, are willing to take on the two remaining guaranteed seasons worth in excess of $12 million left on Jack's contract despite the luxury-tax implications.

But it's believed that the Cavs, if they decided to go ahead with such a move, would try to find a third team to absorb Terry's contract. Terry, 36, has one season left on his deal after this one at $5.85 million and is averaging just 4.5 points on 36.2 percent shooting in 16 minutes per game.

Terry was acquired by Brooklyn last summer as part of the blockbuster deal that sent Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett from the Boston Celtics to the Nets.

Jarett Jack would be a nice pick up for the Nets, he needs to get the hell out Cleveland ASAP.

Cleveland had better insist that Terry NOT be included in that deal.

I watched him play for my Celtics last year and he demonstrated that he overestimates how much he has left
to put it politely.

He played defense only when the urge hit him and played his WORST in crunch time.

I hated seeing KG and Pierce leave my team but celebrated JET's departure.

The Nets should grab whatever they can get for that twerp.

PP and KG should be celebrating now.

How long till Kings fans start using foul language when Terry's name comes up?

What??

Thorton for Terry.

I thought Thorton was a pretty solid player.
