Even after pulling off a blockbuster trade for James Harden, the Brooklyn Nets are dreaming big.
According to Jason Dumas, a reporter for KRON 4 News in San Francisco, the Nets are considering a number of players to acquire via trade, including 5x All-Star, Kevin Love.

The Cavaliers will look to flip a number of their bigs for draft capital. Andre Drummond & Kevin Love could both be moved, per source. I'm told Jarrett Allen is off the table.

The idea of the Nets acquiring Love to create a “big four” is pretty insane, and fans have been going crazy about it online. Still, the financial difficulties of pulling something like that off hasn’t been lost…
Yes, the Nets may be interested in Kevin Love, but money-wise, that's not going to work. Point blank.

If the Nets were to pull it off, it would require them to give up almost the entirety of their remaining depth, including guys like Spencer Dinwiddie, Joe Harris, Landry Shamet, and others. They might also be able to make it work by finding a third or fourth team to include in the trade.
Will the Nets be willing to gut their roster for a 32-year-old stretch four?
That much remains to be seen, but we can’t rule out anything at this point…
