Brooklyn Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov, has made several off season splashes and it's only July ! Jason Kidd led the Nets to consecutive NBA Finals appearances in 2002 & 2003 respectively. Kidd recently retired after playing for the Knicks. Now J. Kidd will coach the Nets next season as the head man in charge. Good move by Kidd to bring in Lawrence Frank as an assistant coach, unlike Kidd he has NBA head coaching experience. The Nets are also looking to bring in AK47 which is Andrei Kirilenko. Nevertheless the move that sent shock waves through the NBA Atlantic Division : Brooklyn packed Kris Humphries, Gerald Wallace, Reggie Evans, Keith Bogans and draft picks to Boston for Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry. Of course KG & PP helped lead Boston to the 2008 championship and in 2010 they made another NBA Finals appearance. Meanwhile Jason Terry appeared in the 2006 NBA Finals before helping Dallas get over the hump as world champions in 2011. The Nets still have the likes of Williams, Johnson and Lopez on the squad. The question is with these moves are the Nets good enough to beat Miami 4 times in a series ?
