Prokhorov On Why He's Running
In his first English language video interview since he announced he's running for President of Russia, Mikhail Prokhorov spoke to Reuters' Chrystia Freeland about his reasons for running and the risks associated with his candidacy. Prokhorov also says he expects to win"at the end of the day, I am sure I will win. I was a winner in business. I want to be a winner in politics." Well, all but one "business." Part II of the interview runs Wednesday.

uh, mike
speak for yourself. otherwise, please don’t try to bring down the level of conversation.
There are people on this board, and in the Nets front office and elsewhere among the INTERNATIONAL fans this team has, who ARE interested in what he says.
Some might even find this interesting as an insight into how he operates.
We offer a wide range of news. We try to be comprehensive and if the owner of the Nets is running for president of one of the world’s great powers, THAT’S NEWS. We don’t post everything he says, but this is his FIRST lengthy ENGLISH LANGUAGE interview he’s done since he’s decided to run.

Don't mean to stray away from the Nets
But he may have a higher chance of winning than some may think. I don’t mean he has a high chance of winning, but rather than most believing he has 0.0000001, he probably has 0.1% chance.
I have friends from Russia who says that the polls and elections from Russia are rigged. For example, they will send a truck of special people to go around different polling stations and vote and the voting station employees won’t cross their names off so they can keep voting. Moreover, there are starting to be people in Russia who are following the trend of countries such as Egypt that are starting to proteset.
So Prokohov’s 0.1% winning chance really depends on whether the people of Russia are ready for a true democracy. Unfortunately, my Russian friends believe they are not, because their lives are not so terrible that they are willing to risk being shot in attempt to overthrow the government.
running from the Nets?

I just want him to pay attention to this team
Nets Mets Giants All day Every day.
Beware the Lopez

Last May, he elevated his big sports advisor to the Nets board of directors
Sergei Kushchenko, former Euroleague Executive of the Year. I can assure you that Sergei is 1) fully involved and 2) talks regularly to Prokhorov.

Of course. The future of a country is more important than one of a sport franchise. Try to get out of the sport world sometimes…
He bought the team
atleast pay attention to it. If you want to go be President, I’m fine with it. Go for it. But atleast help us when we need it. Send in a couple checks or so, couldn’t really hurt him

Beware the Lopez

there are various schools of management
he isn’t the only owner who has other interests that keep him away. Bucks owner is US Senator Herb Kohl (of Kohl’s supermarkets). The ownership of the Hawks is so fractured no one can name their principal owner.
Some are hands on. Some are hands off. Prokhorov is unique in that he is a foreign owner and the richest owner in the HISTORY OF SPORTS.
As he told the Times last, Euroleague is checkers, NBA is chess.

the sports world is my escape
from the world of politics etc etc

He really doesn't need to much
He just needs to keep his wallet open and let the ONEXIM Execs he put in place run the show on the day to day, and every now and then play the role of stern voiced mysterious owner.

If he were to become president
I don’t think it was ever precedented where a leader of another country owned an American sports team.. no? Would he be forced to sell the team? I mean, would David Stern really be able to slap a fine on the President of Russia?
Not likely he will win.

@Net income:
true, false, or can’t tell: prokhorov’s interest in the nets is waning or has waned.
if you can’t tell, what’s your hunch?
You are asking him to speculate?
As opposed to very recent articles where Prokhorov himself has said he is just as committed?

oh i know, i know
guess im having a hard time with only 2 good days for my nets since february (dwill deal, and brooks in the draft)
It is my life's work
People should remember that last May, as he was getting into politics, Prokhorov appointed Sergei Kushchenko to the Nets board. Kushchenko was the Euroleague Executive of the Year when he ran CSKA, getting to the Euroleague Final Four seven straight times, winning it twice in 2006 and 2008.
Kushchenko, who is very knowledgeable about the Nets and the NBA, is 1) quite involved with the Nets and 2) is one of Prokhorov’s closest friends.

lowballing love
According to twincities.com:
Look for the Minnesota Timberwolves to offer Kevin Love a $60 million, four-year contract extension within the next eight days.
Love, 23, who is playing for $4.6 million this season, can become a restricted free agent after the season unless he signs an extension before Jan. 25. If Love opts for free agency, the Wolves would have the right to match any outside offer. Love also can return to Minnesota in 2012-13 for $6.1 million and become an unrestricted free agent after the season.
I hope he opts in for that final year
really doubt it though. Minn will match anything next year.

I really don't understand why people say Prokhy doesn't care about the team
if he didn’t, I don’t think that the Nets would have embarked on this harebrained scheme
Cuban made mistakes
Remember it was Cuban who wouldn’t resign Steve Nash.
He also had 11 assistant coaches at one point.
Better sometimes to have basketball guys run a franchise. Prokhorov pays the bills…nine scouts, six assistant coaches, D-League affiliations, five star hotels, team chef, team psychologist, billion dollar arena.

very true, i think proky is also wise not to make the kind of mistakes that can
lock you up with big, bad contracts for 5-7 years and take you out of contention for a decade.
see, the knicks (then & now)
imagine something extremely witty here
If you look at the GUARANTEED money teams owe
stretching out into the future, the Nets are dead last at $71 million and I believe that includes player options, so Farmar’s $4.25 million and Shw Williams’ $3.15 million count. Next highest are Cleveland at $87 million and Indiana $88 million.
The teams with the most guaranteed, Chicago is at $292 million; Miami at $291 million; Atlanta at $244 million and New York, $235 million. Lakers? $207 million.

Honestly, idk what's the big deal about Proky being involved
As long as he’s spending money on the Nets who cares of he’s involved let the basketball minds deal with basketball decisions let Proky spend that money and when we start winning he can help make this an international powerhouse
As long as he signs the checks and Billy does the work
Who cares?
I’m so THANKFUL that we have an owner that actually cares now.

Nets Appear in Annual NBA GM Survey – Nets Are Scorching
This obviously took place a few days into the season because Norris Cole is way too high on the list of sleepers. But the most significant questions are related to the coaching, where Avery doesn’t get any love whatsoever and PJ Carlesimo only gets 1 vote.
NI - thanks for posting; great insight
Loved how he deflected the question about whether he’s suspicious that Putin is corrupt. Bright man; i think we’re lucky to have such a high profile, politically savvy, business-smart owner. Dolan v Prokhorov – we won that one. Ratner v. Proky… hmm let me think. I think he’s got most owners beat. He seems tenacious and patient, so i don’t think he’s going to lose interest in the Nets and walk away – even while running for President. What surprised me is how much better his English is – one yr after his press conf about shutting down Melo drama. Now he’s involved in his own drama. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
Billy King apparently raised some eyebrows from his peers this off-season when he signed Mehmet Okur, as that acquistion received votes in the question – What was the most surprising move of the off-season?

The New Jersey Nets are in the process of calling up Tulsa 66ers forward Larry Owens from the D-League, according to sources close to the situation.
Nets Blog
Nets Looking for more information on your Nets? ESPNNewYork.com has you covered. Blog
Owens will receive a non-guaranteed contract for the rest of the season, sources said, that becomes guaranteed if he lasts with New Jersey past Feb. 10.
The move is on track to be finalized Wednesday, sources said, but details are still being finalized. With a 15-man roster, New Jersey has to make a move first to create a slot for Owens.
Owens made his NBA debut last season when he was called up by the San Antonio Spurs from Tulsa in January. He served out two 10-day contracts with the Spurs before joining the Washington Wizards in April and finishing the season with them.
The 6-7, 210-pound forward is averaging 13.2 points and 5.2 rebounds in just over 34 minutes per game for Tulsa. Owens will become the 16th NBA call-up from the D-League this season.
im 100% liking this
nothing to lose. if its a salary dump we save $ next year and test a player out. if its jordan to D-league we get jordan to develop and test a player out
even if owens is horrid, its not like we lose anything. 0 risk possible gain move
He probably won't even get playing time

most likely
but yea, nothing to lose. worse case is he comes, he doesn’t play, he sucks, and we cut him february 10 without hurting the team short or long term.
best case...
is we find a player like a tolliver, reggie williams, shannon brown, etc: a rotation player for dirt cheap. so why not
Difference is we lost all of our SF Horner is a 4

The Cleveland Cavaliers are rebuilding the right way. No short cuts, just making the right draft picks and trades...
The NY Knicks are overpaying melo, amare and chandler in hopes to win a championship. Currently, the Cavaliers have a better record than the knicks.
I hope Billy King is paying close attention. Shortcuts rarely work…
it did in miami...
with the RIGHT guys..howard is the right guy..and if u dont get him u blow it up. im fine w it
lebron and wade are 2 of the top 3 players in the league (kobe being the other one)...
Then throw bosh in there who is a top 15 player. So miami is the exception.
Does any one else find it strange
that the lady puts a thick russian accent of Prohky’s name but says Moscow with a very american accent?
