NEW YORK — Mikhail Prokhorov wanted a championship, and the Nets never got close.
Now he wants a reset, and said it was an easy decision to start it now.
"If we look at the team for the time being, it's clear we're doing not the best way," Prokhorov said Monday.
A day after firing coach Lionel Hollins and reassigning general manager Billy King, Prokhorov blamed himself for a win-quick strategy that's left the Nets in one of the NBA's worst situations — then said he hopes to contend for a title next season.
He'll try to do that with new leadership that he hopes will help clarify what kind of team the Nets want to be and what kind of personnel they will need.
