"Lost 92 picks had to fall back..." ' 16 Brooklyn Nets off season thread

Look at this



@ nets decline comment.

Luckily the trade deadline is taking away from our fukkery

Well at least you can't trade any more picks in the foreseeable future, and Brooklyn is 2 and a half seasons from getting hyped on top prospects. Once the team hands a top 5 pick to Boston and strikes out on major FA, I'm sure Prok will calm down next season.

meh I don't know shyt about this guy and idc if he worked with the Spurs bring on the next guy

That's Proky's sense of humor. He once pretended he didn't know who Lebron James was

The Nets’ most important task this summer is rebuilding the roster, an effort that will start with trying to recruit James. Prokhorov said he planned to be in New York when free agency opens July 1 and will be an active participant in the process. Showing a full grasp of N.B.A. tampering rules, he wisely deflected any questions about James.

"I never heard this name," he said with a smile.

Dope. Now it's time to knock this coaching hire out of the park and bring some respectability to the franchise

Great hire. Finally glad thwe fukkery is over.

He'll probably bring in Messina as HC. I'm cool with that

Now this is what I like to hear. Good to know that Proky learned his lesson, and quickly

According to industry sources, the Nets initially presented a three-year deal and a scenario in which Prokhorov’s Brooklyn-based team would continue to have say in the team’s personnel matters. The group of Russians has been the absentee owner’s eyes and ears for six years and often interfered with the front office. Not surprisingly, for someone coming from San Antonio, that amounted to a deal-breaker.

As we reported Wednesday, Marks, 40, looked at the different people he would have to contend with and had serious second thoughts about leaving the Spurs, where he had risen through the ranks since 2012. The Nets knew that, too, and were almost resigned to move onto their next candidate, Arturas Karnisovis, the Denver assistant GM. But Brooklyn didn’t want to lose their top candidate, so it came back with the fourth year and an assurance of more autonomy for Marks, who is seen as a potential top-flight executive but has never run an NBA team before.

One source close to Marks told Sporting News after he accepted their offer that indeed there will be "less involvement from the committee" and "more power and control" for Marks.

Let the GM run the team the way he sees fit

That's a nice view by the court
