Nets officially hire Sean Marks as GM

[KG Living Legend]

 Does anyone no more about Marks, I see he's oictured with a New Zealand Jersey. I'm wondering if he was a key guy for the international scouting for the Spurs.
 Hopefully it takes some time for his moves to pay off.

They don't have any draft picks to draft any of those international players tho.LOL. apart from late seconds.

Unfortunately, he's pretty good.  Luckily, the best way to handle the Nets is to rebuild and they might give us another good pick next year.

Ya, I don't think "unfortunately" is the right choice of words.  A bad GM would be the one that would try to make quick fixes and make the picks worse for us.  A good GM realizes that the picks are gone and mean nothing, so just try to build the team as best as possible.  Which probably means trading for picks and getting worse.

too bad they didn't hire him a couple weeks ago---coulda gotten rid of Lopez,etc...and started the rebuild early.

I mean hopefully, but I prefer either Billy King or no one to somebody competent.  I suppose I'll take it though!

Responses coming from teams inquiring about Nets players: Nothing happening. Marks wants time to evaluate the roster before making moves.

Well trade deadline is in half an hour...he better hurry at evaluating lol

[droopdog7]

I know he's a Cal alum (like me  )

[Tr1boy]

I thought the owner didn't even know who he was

[max215]

Marks knows what he's doing. Unfortunately, he is not Billy King 2.0.

Marks knows what he's doing. Unfortunately, he is not Billy King 2.0.

That could work in our benefit too, if he is truly running the show.  He may decide to go full Hinke for a couple of years.

"Congratulations Sean, you're hired!  We're all very excited to see what you're gonna build here in New Jer -- er, Brooklyn."

Proks plan all along... that delusional nutcase doesn't want anyone traded for a proper rebuild thinking the team is close to contending... so hire the GM right before the deadline and he won't have time to be competent. Off season will be interesting

He'd need full control, because Prokhorov's not buying into a proper rebuild.
