    Over the weekend, I sent the "New Jersey" shareholders a counter proposal with my three "Prochorov Promises":

    1. I am NOT a lawyer.
    2. I will not try to have sex with you.
    3. I know when to leave.

    See, New Jersey, he's not so bad. He just wants to hang out with you.

    "ONEKSIM" provides financing for the construction of the new arena in Brooklyn guaranteed by a significant share in the project.

    This certainly beats ONYXIM's offer of a slam and letting the boys be boys.

    I'm waiting for the hilarious Abbotski & Costellov sketch:

    Abbotski: So I vant to take over the Nets do you wish to sell?

    Costellov: Niet

    Abbotski: That's right the Nets

    Costellov: Yes

    Abbotski: So you want to sell them to me then?

    Costellov: Niet

    Abbotski: We're talking about the Nets

    Costellov: Yes

    Abbotski: Comrade, I want to know if you would sell them to me

    Costello: Niet

    2. Qualitative conditions:

    * Russia would achieve a position of equality among the elites of world basketball.
    * access to all modern technology and training methods with the possibility of using them in Russia.
    * apprenticeships for leading Russian trainers and managers in the NBA.
    * the ability to send our best students to NBA training camps.

    This can all be accomplished in a much simpler way; namely, hijacking Air Force One or taking over NORAD.

    participation in such a complex project undoubtedly is interesting only in the event that NBA technology can be used

    The only question that remains is what would be the best "symbolic price" for someone purchasing the New Jersey Nets?

    A no-show construction job and a case of fake Gucci sunglasses?

    The basis for development should be a strong student basketball league beginning in children's sports schools.

    I'm not here to tell you how to run your country, of course, but perhaps a better basis for development would be telling expectant mothers to cut back to 1/2 a bottle of bootleg vodka per day?

    "and maybe the entire NBA while he's at it"

    The Atlanta Hawks sincerely hope this Russian annexation of Georgia goes better than the last one.

    We need to change the model of basketball development in Russia with the aid of super modern systems of training sportsmen (this is the innovative model).
