Billy King is expected to advise ownership on its search for his successor as general manager of the Brooklyn Nets.

Mikhail Prokhorov pushed King out of the job.

Rod Thorn had played a part in hiring King upon Thorn's departure from the Nets in 2010, but Thorn had resigned his position.

The Nets surrendered seven first round picks, including five of their own, and 11 second rounders to chase instant success during the tenure of King.
