The billboard of Jay-Z and Mikhail Prokhorov that loomed over Madison Square Garden five years ago, the one that had James Dolan stark raving mad, has been painted over a few dozen times.
Instead of a blueprint for success, it’s now back to the drawing board for the Brooklyn Nets, who are looking to reboot their franchise and jump headfirst into the free agent market on July 1. Hence, the club’s obvious interest in Kentucky coach John Calipari, a mover and a shaker with the gravitas to get the Nets a seat at the free agent table just as Jay-Z did during the wild summer of 2010 when the Nets went head-to-head with the Knicks.
