Billy King made his fair share of mistakes since becoming General Manager of the Brooklyn Nets. He has been re-assigned to a yet unknown position Sunday after a series of what can only be called crippling transactions.
Sure, Russian ownership, namely Dmitry Razumov, had a large part in plenty of the "act now, worry later" moves that were made, but as GM with the responsibility of overseeing the present AND future of an NBA franchise, King failed to get the job done. He did put his foot down and say no, refusing, for example, to trade for Lance Stephenson, but not enough.
