CBS Sports ranked the Brooklyn Nets’ front office at No. 12 among all 30 NBA teams, categorizing them as 'smart but unlucky.' Under the leadership of owner Joe Tsai and general manager Sean Marks, the Nets have faced significant challenges that impacted their championship aspirations. Despite setbacks, including injuries and external factors like vaccine mandates, Marks is credited with transforming the team from the league's worst to a competitive contender in a short period. With ample future draft picks, optimism surrounds their potential for rebuilding and success.
"If Kevin Durant's foot was a size or two smaller, the Nets probably would have won a championship in 2021. If New York doesn't institute a vaccine mandate, the Nets might have won a championship in 2022."
"If you're going to blame Sean Marks for how the Durant era ended, then give him credit for it happening in the first place. He took over the worst team in the NBA..."
"It's going to take time to rebuild this thing, but Marks now has a boatload of future draft picks to work with. The future looks pretty bright in Brooklyn."
"Quinn credited Marks for 'picking up the pieces' in the aftermath of the Nets' failed Big 3 era, and for hiring Fernandez, who has the rebuilding Nets knocking on the Play-In Tournament."
