In New Battle of NBA Billionaires - Cuban Attacks, Prokhorov Parries

Mark Cuban isn't worth one-eighth of what Mikhail Prokhorov is worth.  He's probably worth less than James Dolan.  But he does have the NBA track record Prokhorov or Dolan dream of: ten straight 50-win seasons and a reputation of doing everything first class. So his comments about Prokhorov, even in jest, got some attention.

"He's a (expletive)," said Cuban as he worked out on an exercise bike, quickly adding, "I said it jokingly. The guy is like a Russian Ninja and trains with every weapon known to man."  The expletive challenged Prokhorov's manhood.

Cuban did say that Prokhorov has to be ready to do the big deal...and show up at more games.  "If Prokhorov does what I did to try to make deals and get something before the trade deadline then all that changes. But, you know, building a true professional team means having to spend money. We just haven't seen it."

Prokhorov responded to Cuban on Friday afternoon.  "I think Mark has it wrong,'' Prokhorov said in a statement. "I don't like cats."

What is he talking about?

The Proky swung and missed for the big FAs, revamped the locker-rooms in The Rock, is buiilding the most expensive new arena in the NBA, pumping in money into the front office and developmental leagues, invested in tons of advertising here and abroad, and took the team abroad as well.

Cuban has no clue what he’s talking about and is needlessly taking shots. We’re barely into Proky’s first season as owner after taking over the worst franchise in the league and his own co-owners are already bitching about money? Gimme a break.

Proky has a scrapped 12-win squad with an already small fanbase that’s disappointed with an impending move, two good players and a couple draft picks. There was no splash to make.

Cuban took over control of the Mavs in the middle of a 40-win season that already had Nowitzki, Nash and Finley on the roster with a veteran coach in Don Nelson. I give Cuban credit for doing things first class in Dallas and sustaining this run, but what he inherited there is worlds ahead of what the Nets were working with this summer.

I think Net fans are a bit too harsh in terms of the free agency failure. It’s not like this dude was pinching pennies like The Rat. They aimed high, they failed. Meanwhile, we have young talent that needs to be developed. I think that getting these kids to where they need to be is more important than worrying about keeping up with the Joneses. We’re not winning anytime soon.

The money...for the record

—$200 million for the purchase of 80% of the team and 45% of the Barclays Center and an option to purchase up to 20% of the overall Atlantic Yards project (which he has said he’s unlikely to exercise.)

—$177 million in assumption of team debt. As part of the purchase, Onexim group agreed to assume 80% of the Nets corporate debt, the largest as a percent of debt-to-equity in professional sports.

—$60 million in operating losses. Onexim agreed to indemnify Forest City Ratner for operating losses in New Jersey up to $60 million.

—$4 million in IZOD Center lease penalties. In order to move the team to Newark, the NJSEA required a payment of $2 million per year. (Uncertain if the $4 million is included in the $60 million in operating losses or separate.)

—$77 million in arena infrastructure loans. After the arena company was finding it difficult to market bonds for the arena infrastructure (separate from the $511 million tax exempt bonds for the arena), Onexim agreed to buy the bonds, which are convertible to equity in the arena if Ratner needs additional funds for construction.

—$66 million in free agent contracts: $35 million to Outlaw, $12 million to Morrow, $10 million to Petro, $9 million to Farmar (third year is player option); and $1 million to Smith.

—$10 million net increase in payroll from Murphy/Lee trade.

—$635,000 in partial contract gurantees: $450,000 to Graham; $100,000 to Sean May; $50,000 to Brian Zoubek; $35,000 to Uzoh. (In the six years under Ratner, the team had give out $25,000).

—several million dollars in salaries and benefits for additional basketball operations staff, which has gone from 22 to 30 people under Prokhorov. Also includes equipment purchases, specifically in rehabilitation and video editing equipment and specially equipped iPads for each team and coaching staff member.

I know a LOT of prominent NetsDaily members don’t care for Cuban, and cite things like he has spent money yet never won, whats 50 wins for so long if so close only gets you so far, etc, etc… But I would kill for what the Mavs have had. Spare no expense, treat your team like royalty, show them respect, and do whatever you can to try to win.

I understand that only one team can win, and what was the stat, since 83 there have only been what, like 7 different teams to win?

The man doesn’t live in this country, yet he makes it a point to be in touch with the fanbase, he’s honest from what I’ve seen, and he will probably be at more games as time goes on. Other than the fact that i think that King should be the one calling the shots roster wise, Prokhy has handled things as best as you can. The stigma that the Nets have hanging over this franchise is not his fault and he will have to work hard to get rid of it

The Bulls had Jordan.
The Heat had Wade- and made nice play for Shaq.
The Lakers also made the play for Shaq, had Kobe, and made the play for Pau.
The Spurs were amazing, got unlucky and lost one single year and then won the jackpot with Duncan. Before that they had Magic!
The Rockets had in my opinion the best Center of all time. Also got lucky with that 2 year MJ window… which a lot more teams wish they had more of, hello Jazz(are they doing things wrong too?)
The Pistons had a guy names Isiah Thomas, then the anomaly team which is our one lone exception.
Then finally the Celtics had Larry bird who was acquired swiftly a year early in the draft, then the current roster was almost entirely bought with green.

As you can see, there is no right way to do things… whether you buy your team, trade for it, or draft it, the only constant is you need a player who is a winner. I don’t see how you guys can blame Cuban for something like that.

Yes. I would. Its not Cubans fault they don’t have Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, or Dwayne Wade. That’s what it takes to win a championship, a all time stud. This is a players league.

Yes we all know about the Pistons, but that was a one time anomaly.

To say that he is just spending millions just to make the playoffs is silly, he has tried to get the best, but the best usually don’t move.

I just understand that it is VERY difficult to win, and to say that such and such an owner knows the secret, yet the 25 other owners are just twiddling their thumbs. You might be able to make the point that Cuban is holding onto a player that doesn’t have it in him to lead the team, but he is going out there and trying otherwise. I think Jason Kidd is a winner, despite not having won anything, so I don’t see why its that big a deal to think an MVP of the league in Dirk is someone you want t give up on, despite the fact that he has not dealt with the pressure of the big stage.

I really don’t see a problem with drafting an MVP caliber player, adding as many different looks around him as you can, and seeing how far it will take you. That is all any other organization is doing. No different as far as strategy goes, its just a matter of what players you can get lucky enough to lure to you.

Another great example, the Cavs. They put a pretty good team around Lebron in my opinion. They gave him a coach that worked with him, and players that let him operate at his best. They led the league in wins for 2 years, but the player they have is not a winner… not a closer I should say. Some people just don’t have it in them on the big stage, and you cant fault an owner for that. Lebron was smart to join his buddy in Miami.

This is funny

Cuban inherited a team with pieces already in place. Prokhorov inherited a team that was in absolute shambles in every facet that you can think of.

It’s easy to talk smack when you’re already sitting pretty but Dallas’ rebuilding days are coming and we’ll see how smug Cuban is when he’s working his way back up from the bottom like we are now. I love the smack talk though, Mikhail should take a cue from Jay Z: don’t respond right away, wait for things to turn to your favor, and then dis him.

It’s all in good fun. Kudos to the Mavs for beating us. We have a long way to go

They focus too much and put all of their eggs on select superstars. they are not willing to spend on some superstars that may lead them to other superstars (if you know what I mean).

George Bush Jr… Amazing…

This movie was obviously made during the Bush Jr. administration...

It was shown at the GOP National Convention, if I recall correctly…

Karl Rove

was the mastermind behind Bush getting elected. Or as Molly Ivins so lovingly called George Jr…“shrub”
How depressing, Nets losing record and Bush talk all in the same day :(

I wish I could donate blood for Mr. Bartolotti. His injury sounds quite serious.

Are you donating blood for Mr Bartolotti? It’s a very noble thing to do.

Who cares about tickets

if you can help someone in critical need, that’s what is important.

Oh yeah, right !

I was just kidding, of course. Wouldn’t it be funny if your standing on line and in walks Mr.DollarBills, eLonepb, Jerry25, Andy and the rest of the gang.

Headlines next day;

 “NetsDaily gang saves day, but get arrested after arguing over Melo trade”

Then you can really

do something noble and donate blood for them…they will probably need it after the big Melo fight! Lol, I wonder if they would take on your personality after receiving blood from you?…That’s a scary thought :)

This is true by Cuban things need to change

“When (Johnson) was with us, the expectation was to win a championship,” Cuban said. "I don’t think that’s the situation right now with the Nets. I think he recognizes that his job is progress more than rings right now. But you never know. If Prokhorov does what I did to try to make deals and get something before the trade deadline then all that changes.

Thank god Prokhorov is our owner

Just reflecting on the day, and I have to say, there are teams in such a worse position.

We have Proky, and he’s ready to spend to splash.
