Prokhorov may have dodged a bullet here. Leon Rose and World Wide Wes tried to get Melo to the Nets by essentially gutting the entire team. As I mentioned in a previous blog post, Melo simply doesn't make sense for the Nets. A smart move on his part.
Ujiri and Josh Kroenke got too greedy and lost it all I think. They were already gutting the team and then got carried away trying to dump their offseason mistakes (ie.. Harrington) onto the Nets.
If the Nets fail in their bid to get Anthony, the kind of superstar Prokhorov wants playing in Brooklyn, Net fans might get to see their future small forward, anyway. The Jazz's Andrei Kirilenko is a free agent this summer and knows Prokhorov well enough that the two have dinner in Russia when Kirilenko goes home every summer. According to Nets sources, Kirilenko is on the team's radar as a potential player and front-office official.
