Maybe Nets Time Maybe Nets Time

Sean Marks took over one of the worst franchises in sports. Within a few years, he orchestrated the “clean sweep” and was heralded as one of the greatest GMs in basketball. When the players involved in that clean sweep then tried to get Marks fired a mere 2 years later, he suddenly became a complete joke, an obvious disaster, and the sole reason why the Nets suck. In all this hyperbole, one question is consistently obscured: is Sean Marks actually a good GM? 

In this episode we try to answer that question by taking a long, hard look at the man’s record, from the Jeremy Lin signing to the Noah Clowney draft pick. We leave no stone unturned. 

You’ll have to listen to discover the verdict.

When KD, Harden, and Kyrie were on the Nets, I blamed Kyrie for all their woes. Now that the three have abandoned BK, I find myself rooting for Kyrie as I revel in the disappointments of KD and Harden. My question for you, Nets Nation, is: why?

The playoffs inevitably result in disappointed teams >>>

Disappointed teams inevitably result in star movement >>>

Star movement inevitably results in...the Nets getting a star???

Bill Simmons recently claimed the Nets were the #1 franchise he wouldn't want to be. We argue (convincingly) that the mediocre, expectation-less Nets are in a far better spot than the Celtics are (since they are obviously going to flame out again in the playoffs, leading to heartbreak, recriminations, and real fan suffering all around).



Share this with your Celtics fan friends - they need to know the pain that is coming.

These are dark days in Nets Nation, so we thought we'd try to brighten things up a bit by comparing Nets to...characters in the classic cringe comedy "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."
