If it is up to a New Jersey congressman, the sale of the Nets to Mikhail Prokhorov is going to take some more time.

Democratic Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr. wants to know if companies controlled by Prokhorov in Zimbabwe violate federal rules that forbid American citizens and companies, and subsidiaries set up in the United States, from doing business with brutal strongman Robert Mugabe.

“This is disgusting,” Pascrell said. “Obviously, the Board of Governors of the NBA didn’t do their job properly when they vetted this deal.”
