Brooklyn Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov said Monday he will not give up control of the team and downplayed the club's money losses last season as "not a big deal."
Speaking before the Nets' home opener, Prokhorov says he is willing to listen to offers to sell a minority share of the team but that nothing is imminent.
"My position is that I will not give up control of the team, but you know I'm quite happy when somebody is sending me a nice offer without taking my controlling interest," Prokhorov said. "I think for the time being nothing is imminent, but still I think it's not bad just to listen."
