Goran Dragic, Michael Carter-Wil- liams, Reggie Jackson and Brandon Knight all were dealt Thursday in the ¿QDO KRXUV WKDW WUDGHV ZHUH DOORZHG as a number of teams handed their keys to different drivers. Kevin Garnett also has a new ad- dress — his original NBA one. The Timberwolves brought him back to Minnesota by sending Thaddeus Young to Brooklyn. There were so many players on the move in deals agreed to shortly before the 3 p.m. EST deadline that most of the transactions were still awaiting NBA approval hours later. Dragic and Jackson were two play- ers to watch on deadline day, because neither was expected to remain with his team after this season. Both their teams opted to move them rather than risk losing them for nothing.

Jackson, who began the season re- placing an injured Russell Westbrook, now will step in for the sidelined Bran- don Jennings. The Oklahoma City Thunder sent Jackson to Detroit in a three-way trade that included Utah. Even backup point guards seemed in demand, with players such as Isaiah Thomas (Boston), Ramon Sessions (Washington), Andre Miller (Sac- ramento), DJ Augustin (Oklahoma City), Norris Cole (New Orleans) and Pablo Prigioni (Houston) getting new homes.
