Billy King Close To Extension With Nets 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Thu Apr 25, 2013 6:17 pm

Billy King is finalizing a multiyear contract extension to remain general manager of the Brooklyn Nets.


King's contract was set to expire in the offseason, but talks have been ongoing since the beginning of the season.


King has had mixed results as GM as he has attempted to make the Nets instant contenders. The Nets finished the 12-13 season with 49 wins and the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference.

I would imagine that Prok went down the list of potential replacements and the ones he really wanted, Bryan Colangelo or Ernie Grunfeld, weren't going to be available, so he settled on King.
