Nets see sunny skies ahead with new owner
Bergen Record
by Al Iannazzone
Playing for an owner who spends unthinkable millions to make his team good and players happy was Devin Harris’ old life. It seems he will return to it.
The Nets’ point guard was spoiled playing for Mark Cuban in Dallas. Future Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov’s net worth is roughly $13.4 billion — or $11 billion more than Cuban, according to Forbes. By all accounts Prokhorov wants to spend on the Nets.
He plans to offer Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski $12 million to $15 million per year to be their coach and general manager. That got the attention of Harris and other Nets, regardless of whether Prokhorov gets his man.
"I don’t think anybody knows really what to expect," Harris said after Tuesday’s practice. "Really, anything is possible with this guy."
NoLandGrab: One thing they can expect — given Prokhorov's control of the internet — is no more Twittering by Terrence Williams or CDR or anyone else.
