[No Homo]

According to a league source, Prokhorov is going pay in the neighborhood of an NBA-record $184 million for his roster this season: $101 million in payroll and $83 million in projected luxury taxes.

"I think they're still counting [money] in the back office, but frankly speaking, I just hope the check doesn't bounce," Prokhorov said.

Proky the GOAT owner thank you for actually giving a fukk about the team and trying to win

Division title? The veteran small forward basically shrugged off any shred of significance that may come along with winning the Atlantic Division crown, stressing the Nets have a bigger fish to reel in.

“Truthfully, it’s not that important,” Pierce said Monday at the team’s media day at the Barclays Center. “I came here to win a championship. I don’t even want to see an Atlantic banner put up if we win it. I didn’t even know how many Atlantic Division championships we won in Boston.”

Told the Celtics rattled off five consecutive Atlantic title-winning seasons, Pierce was still not impressed.

“I don’t remember getting a hat, T-shirt, a call for winning the Atlantic Division,” Pierce said. “You don’t get anything for it. The expectations have grown here in Brooklyn. It’s no longer, ‘The New Jersey Nets, hopefully we can win the division.’ Now, they’re the Brooklyn Nets with championship aspirations, and you see that with the people around here, the owner, what they’ve done to to try to turn this organization around. And that’s what they are quietly building on.”

These dudes better have something left the way they talking.

I know they will be taking on a lesser role and its such a huge upgrade from last season.
