New Jersey Nets out in the NBA
The NBA just recently announced that the New Jersey Nets will not be able to participate in the 2010-11 season.
Sources said that Russian billionaire owner Mikhail Prokhorov is afraid that a lockout might come in the upcoming years so he disperses the franchise because of the Nets low market. However, Mikhail and (David) Stern are in talk for a new franchise that will participate this season.
Most likely an expansion draft will occur; the last time an expansion occurs is in the year 2004 with the Charlotte Bobcats. As for the Nets current players there will be a lottery with the last season worst teams excluding the Nets.
