Billy King: 'Brooklyn Nets not planning trades'

Brooklyn Nets general manager Billy King has claimed that the franchise do not have any immediate plans to enter the trade market.

Brook Lopez could miss the rest of the season due to a broken bone in his foot but King insists that the injury will not force the Nets to bring in new players.

"If there's a deal out there that we feel is going to make us a better team, we'll do it regardless of tax or the future, but we're not going to panic and do a move just to make a move because we feel we have to," King told reporters.

"I still believe in this group. Brook's a big part of it, but we do have other guys, that's why we have depth."

The Nets are in the process of applying to league officials for a disabled player exception following the injury to Lopez.
