I think they bring him back but he doesn't play. Again.
Will he be playing for the Spurs next season?
Or are his Spurs days over ?
1 more.... How important was he to the Spurs ?
I sure hope he comes back next season and plays.
I think they bring him back but he doesn't play. Again.
He's out.
I never really liked his playing...the little he got anyway.
Maybe there was a reason as to why he played very little...
I saw a Bowen interview where he said that Marks was his favourit team mate!
He's also very close with Manu and Tim, so I wouldn't count him out yet.
i think marks role on this team will largely be the product of what we can find this summer on the market.
Marks is cool. I am down with that.
Marks will be back. He should some heart this year, and nearly made the playoff roster ahead of one stone hands Nazr.
I thought Marks played with great energy when he got minutes. Also, his athleticism shocked me. He will dunk on yo azz.
His defense needs lots of work but I would love to have Sean back.
And we'd have been knocked out of the 2nd round had we had Marks instead of Nazr.
Let him go. He's not going to get much playing time in SA next year if he's around. That would be a pity if it were to happen. He's clearly a good guy who'd have the chance to possibly become a starter in a second or third tier team.
Good lockeroom presence. As far as I'm concerned you might as well keep him on the IR as a good teammate who can dunk on Yao when called upon
yeah, that dunk he had on Yao was the highlight of the Olympics for me. Awesome
But honestly, why not give Marks alot more mins next season, coming off the bench for Timmy.
I think they'll bring him back. He's a teammate favorite. He brings a nice at ude and seems to a good practice player for the Spurs big man. If Marks doesn't mind playing much or anything at all, the Spurs should bring him back for next season.
I also like how possitive and cheerful he is on the bench. Watch him great the players and cheer for them on the bench can only be a possitive thing for the Spurs.
yeah keep sean ! i believe tim and manu also do not want sean to be dropped.
Under the new CBA rules, teams are allowed to carry up to 15 players on their roster. 12 active players and 3 inactive players who no longer have to fake a injury to go on IR, but the Spurs played only a 7 man roster in the Championship series. There is definitely room for Marks on this team.

its been a league wide scam the league has know about and put up with. They've now just made it legal with the new CBA.
- Apart from being close to Timmy and Manu, One coach (i think PJ) was saying he does a great job in the practices and always ready to help. He also said
- If you see during timeouts, this dude actually goes into the huddle (even with his street cloths) and seriously listens Pop's barkings.
Who knows may be he acts up as player-asst.coach next season
He plays the same position that Luis Scola: the suceeding of Manu Ginoboli for the Spurs Fans. Remember that name LUIS SCOLA. Next year you'll remember that message. Some sources here in Argentina are saying that are a done deal the Spurs will bring him into the team for the next season.
just a little something i read in the paper. sorry to be a bit of a buzz kill

Basketball: Marks set to leave US for lucrative European courts
28.06.05
Just days after revelling in one of the greatest triumphs for a New Zealand basketballer, Sean Marks has signalled that his playing days in the United States are almost up.
The 29-year-old capped a stellar career with his first National Basketball Association (NBA) victory ring following the San Antonio Spurs' 4-3 series win over the Detroit Pistons last week.
Despite San Antonio's success, Marks, the first Kiwi to play in the NBA when signed by the New York Knicks in 1998, said pursuing his career in Europe was a matter of when, not if.
"Sure, one year at a time. Whenever it may be in the future, I'll probably end up going to Europe and playing over there," he told Slamsports website.
"That day will come. But just for the time being, I'm just soaking this up."
Heading across the Atlantic could also reap Marks a big pay rise on his current US$700,000 ($1 million) annual contract, with European clubs paying top-dollar for former NBA players, especially those who have won a championship.
With his wife expecting their second child, improved financial security must also be tempting.
A handful of Marks' former Tall Blacks team-mates already play in Europe, including Mark el, Phill Jones and possibly Pero Cameron, who is being courted by Turkish clubs,
Marks, a 2.1m forward, played 23 regular-season games for the Spurs, but his court time was limited given that his opposition for a starting berth was NBA star Tim Duncan, who scooped his third MVP for the NBA final.
Marks failed to make the playing roster for the finals, but the experience, albeit limited to the practice court, still has the former Aucklander buzzing.
"To be part of a championship team is a dream come true, in the best league, too.
"This is a fantastic place to be, so I'm lucky to have spent a couple of years here."
Marks, who last week retired from internationals, leaving the Tall Blacks without one of their most battle-hardened and experienced players, admitted the lack of NBA game-time had become annoying.
"Sure, it's a little frustrating not being out there in games, helping out," he said.
"But in practice the guys will say 'Good job, way to go'.
"Timmy [Duncan] will come and grab me and say 'Hey, can you come and play some defence on me real quick?', so I love and cherish moments like that.
"This is the pinnacle of your sport. I don't know if there's anything bigger than this when you dream about the NBA as a 14- or 15-year-old kid.
"You see pictures of Michael Jordan kissing the trophy and now, being here, it makes me realise how much hard work it takes."
I'd like to see Sean back next year. He's full of enthusiasm and isn't afraid to take a shot. He's a good fit on the Spurs. But if he goes, I wish him the best. He seems like an alright guy.
Sean will probably be back, if for nothing else his ability to mimic opponents in practice. The addition of the new non-IR spots helps his chances.
Everyone wants him back and part of the team. Hopefully, it will work out.
man theres alot of love in this room for this man, brings a tear to my eye.
not really but u know what i mean
We all want Marks around to do the Haka before playoff games next year.
