While Chris Broussard reported Friday that the Bobcats and Nets were discussing a Ben Gordon for Kris Humphries swap, ESPN’s latest report says the Nets “priority” is landing Hawks forward, Josh Smith. According to Chris Broussard, ESPN: The Brooklyn Nets are aggressively pursuing a trade for Atlanta Hawks star forward Josh Smith, league sources told ESPN. The two teams are engaged in discussions.
