Mikhail Prokhorov has repeatedly said he will do what's necessary to make the Nets a winner. His press conferences and e-mail exchanges with writers and NetsDaily often contain one variation or another of two themes: "I'm very committed to the team. I'll continue to do and find all the best I can get for the team" and "we will surprise our doubters."
In an email exchange with Andy Vasquez of The Record Monday, the Nets owner added the need for patience, not something the Nets have been known for over the last five years, and studiously avoided other issues, like his confidence in his front office and coaching staff.
