The NBA Trade Deadline got set on fire at the buzzer today right after the 3 pm ET trade deadline came and went with seemingly every team involved in multiple transactions. The Nets and Thunder appeared headed for a Reggie Jackson Brook Lopez swap, but that fell apart, and now Reggie is headed to Detroit in a three-team trade including the Utah Jazz.
First, Reggie is going to Motown, per Adrian Wojnarowski:

We already covered OKC’s interest in Jazz big man Enes Kanter, and he’s included in the three-team bonanza, so don’t worry Thunder fans; you didn’t give up Reggie for nothing.
Utah is finalizing a deal to send Enes Kanter to Oklahoma City, league source tells Yahoo Sports.

Steve Novak is included in the three-way deal, but I'm not sure where he's headed just yet.
