Nets Russian billionaire owner Mikhail Prokhorov’s private jet landed in Chicago from Cleveland near midday July 1.

Accompanying Prokhorov was a troupe of the franchise’s top echelon executives and pitchmen. The Nets gave it their best in an extensive pitch to LeBron James in Cleveland then in shorter ones to Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh that night in Chicago.

The Nets liked how matters unfolded and believed they were in the James mix. What went wrong? “When you have the worst record in the league, it’s not easy,” Prokhorov said.
