Nets ready to say ‘Hello Cleveland’
Brooklyn to tip off make-or-break season vs. Cavs
It’s finally time to raise the curtain and say “On with the show!” for the 2013-14 Brooklyn Nets.
Buoyed by billionaire owner Mikhail Prokhorov’s unprecedented offseason spending spree, general manager Billy King’s $180 million roster (including luxury taxes) will finally make its much-anticipated debut Wednesday night in Cleveland.
New additions like future Hall of Famers Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, sixth-man extraordinaire Jason Terry and Russian power forward Andrei Kirilenko will join forces with Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, All-Star center Brook Lopez and the Nets’ “Bench Mob” to begin a serious run at the franchise’s first-ever NBA title.
