Video Discussion: Prokhorov going to Nets training camp could signal management and coaches are on the hot seat; Nets Media Day offers signals, too

This boss ain’t playing around!

Brooklyn Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov, took to Twitter to announce that he will be joining the Brooklyn Nets at training camp at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.

Although the Brooklyn Nets have made it to the NBA Playoffs during the past three seasons in Brooklyn, the Nets haven't exactly had a winning record under Prokhorov.

The Brooklyn Nets win-loss record under Prokhorov stands at 177-217.  Additionally, the team has had four head coaches in Avery Johnson, P.J. Carlesimo, Jason Kidd and now Lionel Hollins. Only Hollins has lasted more than a season.

At the end of the 2014-15 season, the Nets also traded away its franchise player Deron Williams to the Dallas Mavericks.

Since sending Williams to Dallas, there appears to be some uncertainty with the team right now regarding the point guard position, which was evidenced today at Nets Media Day.

When I asked Hollins if Jarrett Jack would be the starting point guard at Nets Media Day today, he replied that the point guard position was up for grabs, it would be based on whoever earns the position.

Prokhorov going to Nets training camp could be making a tense situation even more tense. Many are speculating that the training camp visit seems to signal that several people may be on the hot seat, including Brooklyn Nets General Manager Billy King and head coach Lionel Hollins.

Could it also mean that Prokhorov might just want to better understand the various dynamics surrounding the team?
