Brooklyn Nets general manager Billy King is not actively looking to make a trade to replace injured center Brook Lopez, who was lost for the season on Friday after breaking his foot against Philadelphia.
Despite Lopez now gone for the season, the Nets appear unlikely to pursue another big-name big man, such as Houston Rockets center Omer Asik.
"If there's a deal out there that we feel is going to make us a better team, we'll do it regardless of tax or the future, but we're not going to panic and do a move just to make a move because we feel we have to," King said on Sunday, via ESPN. "I still believe in this group. Brook's a big part of it, but we do have other guys, that's why we have depth. ...
"Every team that has a big guy on the sideline calls to offer their services, but we had been in discussions with a lot of teams up to this point. There's not an imminent move, we're not looking to make any imminent move trade-wise. We've got 14 other guys that can step up, but we'll continue to discuss possibilities if it can make our team better."
Lopez suffered the injury on Friday in Brooklyn's 121-120 overtime loss when 76ers forward Thaddeus Young fouled him from behind. Lopez fractured the fifth metatarsal in his right foot - the same foot he had surgically repaired in December 2011, according to ESPN.
The 7-footer had been making a case for another NBA All-Star invitation with his 20.7 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.76 blocks per game.
"It's unfortunate, but the one thing I know about Brook is he'll do everything he can to get back," said King. "We're talking to a lot of different doctors, getting a lot of different opinions to make sure we're doing things right."
Andray Blatche, Reggie Evans or Mirza Teletovic is expected to take over at center for Lopez.
