Nets on the Net: New Players, More Witticisms From Prokhorov
Jordan Farmar on why he picked the Nets over the Lakers: “We talked about it, and it wasn’t really how I wanted to spend my whole career, being a backup in a triangle (offense),” the Nets’ new backup point guard explained yesterday.
Al Iannazzone continues to speculate the Nets options for PF. They include Andrei Kirilenko, Troy Murphy, Kenyon Martin, Brandon Bass and Paul Millsap.
Daily News has part two of their interview with Mikhail Prokhorov. There’s more amusing stuff in there, including this nugget:
Q: Can you play (PF)?
A: Power forward? I’m too old for this. And I don’t like the salary of the players. I can make more in business.

Just wait for the right moment. Look at what the Celtics did.
They kept their high draft picks and affordable and intriguing young talent available. Then they landed Ray Allen and KG, while hanging onto Pierce.
The Nets can do the same thing right now.
Trade Favors, T-Will, and a high pick for CP3, while absorbing Okafor's contract.
Trade Harris and a High pick for Granger.
With that we have our own big 3.
Starting:
Chris Paul, Morrow, Granger, Okafor, Brook.
Reserves:
Farmar, James, Outlaw, Petro, Lee, Sign another big PF and you're set.
That's a championship team, and it's really a possibility thanks to the felxibility Thorn has given us.
Look at the Carter and Kidd trades. Overall there is no way to say Thorn didn't do a good job. While he didn't win a championship, he did make the Nets relevant and make all of us believe we COULD win a championship. Great work by a great man.
