Ah, ist es jetzt endlich durch. Ja, dann hat Mark Cuban praktisch schon einen Nachfolger. Ein weiterer Superreicher, der sich ein exklusives Spielzeug zulegt.

Abgesehen davon, bieten die Nets eine interessante Anlaufstelle für Free Agents. Auch wenn die Saison gerade megamies war. Mit Brook Lopez, Terrence Williams und Devin Harris ist ein netter Grundstock vorhanden. Dazu wird ein sehr guter Draft-Pick erwartet. Vielleicht ist dann ja noch ein Bosh, Gay und/oder Johnson drin.

 das wird OKC take 2

Peace out.

Folgt Shaq wieder dem Dollar bzw. der Heimat?

Marc Berman of the New York Post reports:
Shaq will consider joining Nets

Cavaliers free agent center Shaquille O’Neal, a Newark native, told The Post he would consider the Nets as a destination this summer — intrigued because they now reside in his hometown.

O’Neal, the Cavs “other” free agent, praised the new Prudential Center as being an NBA hotspot and said he would rather them not move to Brooklyn in 2013.

“I think it’s better than most arenas, I think it’s one of the best arenas in the country,” O’Neal told The Post following the Cavaliers’ stunning second-round elimination against Boston on Thursday night. “Hopefully they can stay there forever. I don’t know what’s going on with the Brooklyn situation, but it says a lot for the city of Newark.”

InsideHoops.com Says: Shaq has limited impact at this point in his basketball career, and the Nets have Brook Lopez at center already. So while it’s fun to think about O’Neal heading over to Newark, in reality he’ll probably wind up continuing to play elsewhere, for contenders who need him a bit more.

NEW YORK -- "America, I come in peace."

That was one of the many one liners Mikhail Prokhorov dished out at his introductory press conference in Manhattan on Wednesday. The new majority owner of the New Jersey Nets revealed quite a bit of his personality, but very little of his specific plans to turn the franchise around in the question and answer session with the New York media.

Prokhorov began the press conference by calling the Nets "the team with the best record in the NBA" and then asking if he was misinformed. He solicited resumes for the team's coaching vacancy from the media in attendance and said he hopes to have a new coach "by December." And when asked to compare himself to Mark Cuban, he said, "I keep cool more than him."
