Nets general manager Sean Marks still expects his team to make the playoffs.
Speaking to reporters in the immediate aftermath of two seismic trades that shipped both superstars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving out of Brooklyn, Marks expressed optimism about the future and sadness regarding the past.
He conceded the superstar era in Brooklyn was a failure, or that “it didn’t work,” and said he’s excited to get to work evaluating talent, now overseeing seven first-round draft picks over the next handful of seasons to retool a roster with young, budding talent.
