EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -Rod Thorn expects to return as the New Jersey Nets president.
Thorn said during a conference call Monday that potential new owner Mikhail Prokhorov has given no indication that he won’t be back.
The Nets’ chief executive also said the work of rebuilding the NBA’s worst team has already started. Among the tasks are finding a new coach, preparing for the draft in June and free agency that starts in July.
New Jersey finished 12-70 this season.
While he has not interviewed anyone, Thorn hopes to have a new coach in place for the draft. He also said the team is developing its strategy for free agency, a market that might include LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
