Nets Offer Sean Marks GM Position

[CGD]

Their a new job opening for red rocket

You guys are acting way too emotional over that exert and it shows most of you guys lack good reading comprehension skills. If you read the whole entire thing Manu says right now they look unbeatable but he's not going to worry about them until the playoffs and the spurs will try to figure out a way to beat them during the playoffs. He's implying that he doesn't give a about the regular season and that regular season wins or losses against the warriors don't mean anything.

Yeah, when SAGirl isn't fantasying about Kyle HIS (because that's a troll account obviously) reading comprehension skills goes to .

Brooklyn needs to the off.

Brooklyn needs to the off.

I'm thinking that if this Marks thing happens, the Nets might be willing to use their cap space to take Diaw this summer. Should leave the Spurs with enough room to go after Splitter.

If Sean Marks takes the job (which I don't know why he wouldn't), he would at a minimum take in a San Antonio coach. That's what Nets owner wants, a GM and Coach combination in addition to that, an international spin. Likely candidate is Messina at this point. Although who knows if Udoka is in play or another Spurs coach that Marks has good rapport with. I'm not certain if Sean has developed good rapport with the older Messina.

In addition to coaches, Nets are likely to hire some Ex-Spurs players, people who have been in the system and can establish the culture.

The entire league is nothing but a s game. They give the illusion they are competing against each other but after the act is over they all ride home on the same bus.

Take this guy with you Sean

Manu and Sean are good buddies. Who knows if that's in the cards when Manu retires.

Anyway, the Manu interview tells you that PATFO is not about to figure out GSW until they actually need to figure it out!

BTW... current predictions of NBA champion:

GSW - 50%
Spurs - 25%
Cavs - 10%
OKC - 5%

Exactly. But these ers obsessed after Gino's and Pop's comments. Both, Manu and Pop are saying in their respective thinking/words that beating/solving the Golden Showers right now doesn't matter nor a priority; that it matters in May or June.

It would be dumb for marks to pass up this opportunity. Good for him.

...well played

[ElNono]

Sean should go for it... probably a good raise too...

[ElNono]

agreed...

now let's imagine one sec this was TP's quote this forum would go ballistic on his ass

you don't need to take TP's quotes out of context to go ballistic on his ass, tbh... that's the main difference...

If I'm Sean Marks I don't take the job. That job is set up for failure and its pretty much impossible situation to turn around. He's obviously the number #1 candidate in the league right now and I wouldn't ruin my resume by going to the worst franchise in sports.

I keep my eye on Houston, Atlanta and Sacramento Better jobs will open up sooner than later and I would just be patient.

[BatManu20]

Marks is leaning towards NOT taking it. Nothing final yet.

Usually you are trolling, but I have to comment on this. First Pop's admiration for GSW and his admission that he's thought of them more than any other team in his career. Also, his admission that they are unsolvable.

Now Manu publicly admitting that he doesn't known how they can be beaten. I mean, is this not equal to the Jordan's Bulls? Teams giving up b4 there is even a contest.

TBH I don't know if they can be beaten bc they will expose your flaws. All of our guys who can't defend Wil be exposed. And on the other end you cannot stop then and if their roleplayers are having a bad night, Curry will take care of business. When the roleplayers are rolling its a blowout.

Statements like that from Manu also make me think it is their last season (Timmy bc the knee, Manu bc a young Manu would not be intimidated by anyone. No one would seem unbeatable. A difficult opponent yes, but invincible? No.)

I think it's the opposite, actually. The Spurs are trying to build up GS to make them look stronger than they are. Reverse psychology. Giving them absolutely no bulletin-board material to work with, just the admission that they've been playing out of this world.

It's really, really damn hard to do that for an entire season+playoffs. The playoffs are so different, and even though GSW won last year, everyone knows they weren't really tested. When a team comes along and really takes them out of their rhythm over the course of several games, we'll see how they respond.

[spursistan]

I don't blame him..the job is a young GM graveyard, tbh..

[TheDoctor]

Sean's taking a wise decision.

Everytime I hear/read someone's considering going to that -hole of a Franchise it sincerely hurts my heart. Unless it's Ryan Anderson or Zaza Pachulia.

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Good for Marks. That means Bonner will be moving to the FO next year. He was a great candidate for the position. Looks like Messina will be heading out there. One thing the Spurs have created is great GMs.

Andy Vasquez is the latin Woj or nah?

He's a Nets beat writer. They had an opening ceremony for their new training facility today. That was a direct quote from the owner.

[Mel_13]

On Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski, the most reliable source of sources in the NBA, reported that Sean Marks has been offered the GM job by the Brooklyn Nets. On Wednesday, others reported that Marks may not accept the job. Later on Wednesday, Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov said he doesn't even know who Sean Marks is.

And we've come full circle!

Mikhail Prokhorov says the job was not offered to Sean Marks. #Nets
— Anthony Puccio (@APOOCH) February 17, 2016

When asked specifically about Sean Marks, Prokhorov said: "I have never heard this name before."
— Andy Vasquez (@andy_vasquez) February 17, 2016

Prokhorov also says he will stay in the states until the GM is decided. #Nets
— Anthony Puccio (@APOOCH) February 17, 2016

And, as the kids say, "it's lit."

Mr. Prokhorov has not heard of Marks, who is the assistant GM of the San Antonio Spurs, the league's most successful franchise over the last decade. Marks works for R.C. Buford, who is the GM of the Spurs and is also close friends with Sergey Kushchenko, who is on the Nets GM search committee.

Buckle up, everyone. Buckle. Up.
