If he was willing to blow money he would have gone after J Kidd since DWill said he wanted to play with him.
/Sigh. So he spent 800 million in one sitting but won't spend 30 million a year?
And he couldn't have gone after Jason Kidd. Obtaining Jason Kidd would have cost us the MLE which means that we cannot exceed the hard cap.
Last response to you because you need to get your shit straight before being spewing dumb crap.
Later.

One more thing, the Nets are an investment. Boats, cars, etc are toys. Learn the difference. The purpose of any investment is to yield a profit. Intelligent people don't invest to purposely lose money. You sound like you graduated from the school of Bernie Madoff.
I bet you thought the mavs would lose to the heat 2 yrs ago too, right!? Okay mr. Future teller, think what you want. He'll glady pay whatever. It shouldn't be news to anyone at this point. The closer to the championship that he promised, the happier Prokhorov is.

So you understand that Prok must be a sensible individual, moneywise, for otherwise he couldn't have gotten this rich; yet you question his expenditure.
Getting Dwight means attracting a larger fan base, selling more tickets and hot dogs, gaining interest from sponsors, etc. His coming over massively increases the Nets' value and therefore the incoming $, championship or not.

Yup, I think Prok's the real deal. And I think the main reason he would be willing to spend all this cash is because he's got a huge ego. The guy is a competitor and it wouldn't surprise me if he wants to send a big **** you to the rest of the owners.
