Steve, thanks for another great article and perspective on the Nets. If I'm not mistaken, the Nets won more playoff games (10 wins) under Billy King's "disastrous" 5 year run as GM than during Sean Marks' 8 year tenure (8 playoff wins). I am not posting this comment to defend Billy King's tenure. But I am posting this comment to express frustration over Marks' continuing leadership of the Nets. Eight years as a GM is a long time in sports (Obama was still the President of the USA when Marks was hired). I don't believe Marks has earned a ninth season. If Tsai isn't going to sell the team, then he should find a new GM to run the Nets.

Thanks! There’s no sugarcoating Marks’ teams’ playoff failures, but it is apparent that Tsai is putting more of the blame for them on flukiest things like injuries, KD’s big toe, & Kyrie’s sabotages. Both men aren’t going anywhere.
