The New York Times is reporting that Russian Billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov should be approved as Nets owner by Tuesday. This would give him about a week before the May 18 Draft Lottery, which Prokhorov reportedly wants to attend.
This is very exciting. We still don’t know what kind of owner Prokhorov projects to be in the NBA, but anything that helps Nets fans move on from the Bruce Ratner era, especially the last two years of it, is fine by me.
