Butt hurt anyone? Kawhi turned down Prok's daughter too?

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.

I do know how to read. There was no context to this right here. It's a simple quote he posted. And I am saying you have to respect your opponent but never think you cannot beat them... although I have my own doubts about it TBH just find it strange that he would so readily admit to almost certain defeat. Hate to bring it up, but that is not what I want to hear from a team leader.

No wonder Marks refused this franchise.They're a ing joke.

[DPG21920]

What a massive idiot Prok is. Laughing stock of an owner.

Again you are proving my point that you lack reading comprehension skills. He clearly stated that they looked unbeatable right now but didn't say the spurs had no chance of beating them. Manu states in the article if you READ it that the spurs are not taking the regular season games seriously against the warriors and will find a way to deal with them come playoff time.

Well if Marks was undecided the statement from the Nets just made his mind.
That was a bad situation he was getting into. Indeed he should wait for something better. So should Messina, who I have liked as well. I do think he's gone after this season, but not to the Nets.

I just read the quote. I comprehended the quote well enough. I didn't read the link last night though so that is your answer. The quote in itself shocked me and that was what I shared my reaction to the quote.

c'est ça... ben voyons

vérité bombe, peh

This is why I asked about it earlier. Sure it's a job opening, but it's also a ty situation with the Nets. This kind of insider info could just be jostling between both Marks and Prokhorov or it could be Prok being a little cuz Sean turned him down. , if Prokhorov is telling the truth the bigger story is that Woj was wrong

Well in the future don't be a sheep and read the whole entire exert when a quote is posted.

[HarlemHeat37]

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

[baseline bum]

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.

Sacramento has got to be the worst situation in the league. I can't imagine having the owner telling me to implement cherry picking.

He could just wait for a better team situation. I'm sure he would like to be a GM, but that's a crappy place to start.

The Nets can't give their money away...

In the future I do whatever the heck I want. I reacted to a succint quote and you got so butthurt about it that you are wasting both our times with this.

It's a waaaaaaay better job then Brooklyn. You at least have Cousins as an moveable piece or you can build around him...Brooklyn has Brook Looez??

Crap I forgot Brooklyn's draft situation.

Damn I hope Kiwi passes on that to run a real franchise.

[spursistan]

It is not over, per Woj..

[HarlemHeat37]

Too much softness in over-thinking this, tbh..

Sure, it's the worst job in basketball, right now(maybe in all of pro sports), but you'll be getting paid a nice salary and be given a chance to become a legend in the front office game..if not, you get fired, and you go back to being the irrelevant Sean Marks that nobody knew, anyways..

Prokhorov has been loyal, too, and hasn't meddled much..he has demonstrated that he's willing to give a long leash..maybe that will change after being hands-off and allowing the worst GM in the NBA to kill in his franchise, but we'll see..

If Sean gets fired it wouldn't be strange the Spurs hire him in next years but who can take the job after the owner said he didn't even know his name...

[dabom]

Not even the Assistant Spurs GM taking the job.

Come on Harlem. The job is is like taking a poison pill. Even RC can't make that work. All the big heads around him probable steered him away.

Prokhorov is the reason they traded all of their picks for old farts. He wanted a winning team immediately when they moved to the Barclay Center. Don't think he's not a meddler. He is.

Billy King actually seemed like a half-way decent GM. They drafted pretty well when they got the change to use their picks, and most of his min-salary guys actually turned out okay. I do wonder what the team would have been like had Prokhorov not forced King to trade for all those vets. Some very good prospects have been part of those transactions.
