Brooklyn Nets rumors: Carmelo Anthony-for-Jeremy Lin deal in talks

Brooklyn Nets rumors are bubbling with a report the Nets are in talks with the Oklahoma City Thunder about forward Carmelo Anthony.

Mitch Lawrence of the Sporting News reported Tuesday the Thunder are looking to get something for Anthony, with Brooklyn guard Jeremy Lin the apparent target for Oklahoma City.

It was reported by ESPN last week the Thunder and Anthony had mutually agreed to part ways as a means of getting Anthony’s $27.9 million salary off what would be a record $310 million payroll and luxury tax bill.
