The Nets are believed to be trying to trade forward Josh Boone and his $2 million contract.

Boone had an extended talk with New Jersey executive Rod Thorn on Tuesday, but the forward says the pair never discussed a potential trade.

“I only know what I read, and (reports) say they’re shopping me,” Boone said. “I would love to stay, but I know how the business is.”

The 6′10″ Boone, who has been with the Nets since his career got started in 2006, will be losing a good chunk of playing time to Kris Humphries(notes), who just arrived via trade from the Dallas Mavericks.
