In discussing the Nets plans for globalization,including trips to Beijing, Guangzhou and London this season, Al Iannazzone notes that Mikhail Prokhorov wants the Nets to be part of international travel on a regular basis. "Any chance to play in Europe, the Russian billionaire probably will jump at it," he writes. "It's only a matter of time before the Nets play in Moscow." Problem is that the Nets have only one international player: Johan Petro of France. In comparison, the Knicks have players from Italy, Canada, Jamaica, France, Nigeria and yes, Russia.
