The Brooklyn Nets may have experienced considerable success in recent years with the dynamic duo of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Unfortunately, the Nets failed to seize the opportunity, and both players requested a trade from the organization last season. After their brief superteam era, the Nets entered a period of rebuilding with Jacque Vaughn as the head coach. Regrettably, the experiment proved unsuccessful, leading to Vaughn’s recent dismissal and the start of a new era for the franchise. In light of these developments, NBA insider Jake Fischer, via Yahoo Sports, speculated on Twitter that GM Sean Marks may also be let go by the Nets. Fischer reported, “There is growing speculation among league personnel about the possibility of Sean Marks following Jacque Vaughn out the door.” Will GM Sean Marks be the next to depart from the Nets franchise?
Marks has served as the general manager of the Nets since 2016. However, under his leadership, the franchise has continued to struggle. This is evident from the Nets’ losing record of 290-346 since Marks assumed the role of general manager. Considering the potential new era for the Nets with Mikal Bridges as the franchise’s cornerstone player, Fischer believes that Marks could be shown the door following Vaughn’s firing. Marks’ inability to construct a competent roster around Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden will likely be a significant factor if he is indeed fired by the Nets. Currently, the Nets hold a 21-33 record and occupy the 11th seed in the highly competitive Eastern Conference.
