The Nets are just eight games into the 2022–23 NBA season, but by any metric, the first 10% of the year has been an abject failure. Coach Steve Nash was fired after a 2–5 start to the year, and Brooklyn followed the surprising news by coughing up a game late to the Bulls, falling 108–99 after being outscored 31–19 in the fourth quarter.
Time will tell if the team’s coaching change will get the talented roster—which features three-star players in Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons—back on track, but general manager Sean Marks indicated that an overhaul in that department could also be coming.
“I’ll be the first to tell you, there’s certainly holes. We’re not a finished product,” Marks said of the Nets roster Tuesday. “We’re not playing up to our expectations, the way we should be.”
