There's not much to be determined over the final seven days of the season. At this point, the Nets are just waiting for Mikhail Prokhorov to swoop in and make his mark on the franchise.
For the record, on the morning of the national championship game and about 12 hours after news broke that Mikhail Prokhorov would offer him $12-15 million a year to coach the Nets, Mike Krzyzewski told ESPN's Chris Sheridan that he "wouldn't have any interest in the job."
Mikhail Prokhorov is not fooling around. The Record reports that he has authorized the Nets to offer Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski a contract worth $12 to $15 million a year. Under one scenario reported by the Record, Coach K would be both head coach and GM.
