It's been only 2 weeks ago since the NBA season has started, and yet, potential trades until the NBA post-season is lurking around. Brook Lopez of the New Jersey Nets is currently rumored to be in the NBA trade block as the Nets are looking for a new front-court player.
According to the ESPN report, the Brooklyn Nets are craving to let go of Brook Lopez in the past NBA season, and yet it is unclear why Lopez is still on their roster. Though Lopez has been a productive middle for the Nets, several reports show that he might be the odd man out this NBA season.

Meanwhile, the Bleacher Report said that Brook Lopez might have been traded to the Sixers for Nerlens Noel. The Philadelphia 76ers are known to have a logjam at the Center position and trading Nerlens Noel for Brook Lopez would not be a cure.
