Adrian Wojnarowski of yahoo sports is reporting that the Nets have traded Mason Plumlee and the rights of Pat Connaughton to the Blazers for Steve Blake and the rights for Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.
Brooklyn will send Mason Plumlee and Pat Connaughton to the Blazers for Hollis-Jefferson and Blake, league sources tell Yahoo.

Not really sure how Portland pulled this off seeing as they pretty much got a steal of a deal. They not only acquired a young talented big man in Plumlee, they got an athletic shooting guard in Connaughton who can shoot from the perimeter and brings a ton of energy, not to mention he has a 40 inch vertical.
Meanwhile the Nets do fill a need in getting Hollis-Jefferson, but their old back court just got older with the 35 year old Blake.
