Mikhail Prokhorov explained his willingness to shell out more than $100 million in player salaries for next season a number that will trigger an NBA-record luxury tax bill of about $80 million.

When I bought the team, I promised to create a championship contender, a team worthy of Brooklyn, said Prokhorov. Ill be proud when we win the championship. I am not a man of procedure. I am a man of results.

Prokhorov reiterated his goal of winning a title by 2015.

In the NBA, money, its important, but you cant buy a championship only spending money. Whats most important is to put pieces together [for] a championship contender, he said. Frankly speaking, Ill do whatever I can to reach the championship here in Brooklyn. It was the goal when I bought the NBA team. From inside, for me there is only one place and thats first place.
