When Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov fired coach Lionel Hollins and reassigned general manager Billy King in January, he insisted the team was just one or two players away from competing for a title and this was just a small reset.
Unless those players are Stephen Curry and LeBron James, Brooklyn is a long way from a title, and this isn’t a reset, but a rebuild. How soon Prokhorov realizes that will determine what kind of path the Nets take at this crossroad.
Brooklyn still needs a general manager and permanent coach, and they’re going into the second half of the season 14-40, having lost Jarrett Jack for the season and still awaiting the return of Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.
