As Thorn Exits and LeBron Awaits, Nets Have No Plan B

Nothing like waiting until the night of the ball to order the limo.

Or opening the sparkling new restaurant before the wait staff is hired.

Or, as is the case with the New Jersey Nets and their much-anticipated courting of LeBron James, being days away from 2010 free agency without defined leadership.

Is this really happening?

Is new Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov really proving that the size of the bank account can't always disguise the absence of a savvy plan?

General manager Rod Thorn will indeed walk away next month, with his reasons as unclear as his departure was unexpected. And with James reportedly set to host the Nets, Knicks, Miami, Cleveland and the Clippers in Ohio to weigh his many options, there's simply no way Thorn's exit helps New Jersey's chances at signing the self-proclaimed King. As for the notion that this was all part of Prokhorov's strategy to supplant Thorn with a bigger, more-powerful name like the rumored Jerry Colangelo or Jerry West? It certainly isn't sounding that way.
