Mikhail Prokhorov flew in from Russia and arrived Monday morning to discuss the firing of Lionel Hollins and the reassignment of Billy King. Things were different this time around.
There would be nobody else to help Prokhorov discuss the hole the Nets have dug themselves in. There would be no charm or personality during this press conference to help wiggle out of certain situations.
It would be frank discussion from Prokhorov and only Prokhorov on where the Nets are headed this season and beyond.
He took accountability, which is good. He's still willing to spend money and repeatedly flaunted many of the positive things the Nets have going for them to lure in free agents, which is good.
