Brooklyn Nets' deal with Andrei Kirilenko raises suspicions from NBA rivals

Andrei Kirilenko's pay cut has other NBA teams privately calling foul. Whatever the truth, Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov has finally made the franchise relevant to the rest of the league.

Kirilenko wanted a three-year deal with a minimum of $8 million per season, front-office executives said. Several teams, including the San Antonio Spurs, pursued Kirilenko with sign-and-trade discussions with Minnesota only nothing could get done. Kirilenko has history with Deron Williams, the Nets star. They played together for five years in Utah. Most of all, Kirilenko has history with Prokhorov. The billionaire owned CSKA Moscow, and Kirilenko played for him there, too.
