Update:
Several league executives believe Minnesota is pursuing free agent Andrei Kirilenko. He’s no longer considering Brooklyn, sources say.

According to this tweet, Andrei Kirilenko will be on his way to the NBA.
Anrei Kirilenko will join an NBA club, CSKA president Andrey Vatutin told Russian paper Sport-Express.

Kirilenko has been a long-rumored Nets target due to his relationship with Mikhail Prokhorov, as well as being a former teammate of Deron Williams. The Nets can only offer AK the veterans minimum, which, according to Stefan Bondy, takes them out of the running.
Andrei Kirilenko is not interested in signing with the Nets for vets minimum, according to a source

More to come on this soon. But, if the Nets actually pull of a Kirilenko signing, my biased optimism will be through the roof.
Edit:
These tweet, too, for your viewing pleasure. Maybe… They can do this?
Nets have not been informed that Kirilenko won’t sign with them, according to a source, so maybe this is still alive as a possibility
