    Billy King believes the Brooklyn Nets' window to win a title is this season.

    "Now, this is the window -- this season," the Nets general manager said Wednesday at Duke University, where the team is holding its training camp. "We're going to see what we can do with this season, and then we'll see what next season brings."

    King raised the level of the team's expectations dramatically this offseason by adding Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Jason Terry and Andrei Kirilenko to join Deron Williams, Brook Lopez and Joe Johnson. Owner Mikhail Prokhorov is projected to spend over $180 million in salaries and luxury tax.

    Garnett and Pierce signed off on a trade to from the Boston Celtics to Brooklyn with the sole intention of winning another championship together.

    "That's the only reason I came back man," said Garnett, who is entering his 19th season. "I like the bones of this team and what I thought I could bring to this team could help."
