The Nets and Celtics are reportedly discussing a deal that would send Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to Brooklyn, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports:

The talks are centering around a package that would include Gerald Wallace, Tomike Shengelia, the expiring deal of Kris Humphries and three future first-round picks, sources told Y! Sports.

Kevin Garnett has a no-trade clause in his contract, but he could be convinced to waive it if the Celtics and Nets agree to terms. A potential deal would clear cap space for the Celtics and allow them to start a rebuilding process. A deal is still a long ways away, however.
