Sources told ESPN.com that the Nets, eager to add a proven ballhandler and backcourt scorer to their bench rotation, are willing to take on the two remaining guaranteed seasons worth in excess of $12 million left on Jack's contract despite the luxury-tax implications. But it's believed that the Cavs, if they decided to go ahead with such a move, would try to find a third team to absorb Terry's contract.
