Nets Hire Sean Marks as GM

The Brooklyn Nets named Sean Marks as their general manager Thursday after a long and exhausting search that had more twists and turns than any show on HBO.

On Tuesday, various media outlets reported that Marks was offered the GM job, but on Wednesday morning, it was reported that Marks had declined the position.

Brooklyn Nets GM Prokhorov, who “never heard of” Sean Marks, had some nice words for the former Spurs assistant GM.

“After an exhaustive vetting process, we are delighted to have Sean as our General Manager. His experience on the court, in coaching and management gives him a 360 degree view of the job at hand. His background helping to build one of the greatest teams in the NBA gives him an unparalleled frame of reference. And he impressed us all with his vision, his values, his personality and his enthusiasm for the club. The vote to select him from an incredible list of talent was unanimous. We welcome Sean into our Nets family and look forward to his strong leadership and independent thinking as we build our own success story.”

Marks, a former D-League GM for the Spurs also expressed his gratitude.

“I am very excited to be named the General Manager of the Brooklyn Nets, and to become a member of the vibrant and dynamic organization that represents Brooklyn. I would like to thank Nets’ ownership for giving me this opportunity, and I look forward to the challenge of creating a unified culture and building a winning team.”

Hopefully, Marks can help the Nets rebound from the lack of draft picks and talent and help the Nets become competitive once again.
