The Brooklyn Nets had Sean Marks as their unanimous selection to become general manager.

“We knew immediately, this is our guy,” Nets' chairman Dmitry Razumov said.

The Nets liked Marks' demeanor, optimism and pedigree.

Marks said he had a set vision for the team, one he hoped to execute as a collaborative process with the front office and coaching staff.

When describing the advantage Marks had over other candidates, Razumov said, “the culture of the team that Sean is coming from was too persuasive.”

The Brooklyn Nets have requested waivers on Andrea Bargnani, General Manager Sean Marks announced today.  

Bargnani, who signed with the Nets on July 17, 2015, appeared in 46 games for Brooklyn, with averages of 6.6 points and 2.1 rebounds in 13.8 minutes per game.

Andrea Bargnani and the Brooklyn Nets have opened up buyout negotiations.

Bargnani signed a two-year deal with the Nets in the offseason.

Sean Marks signed a four-year deal with the Brooklyn Nets to be general manager worth $9 million.

Marks earned less than $10 million during his entire 11-year playing career.

"I hope that I can capture all that I've learned and bring it to [Brooklyn], and I have a clear vision of what I'd like to implement here," Marks said. "It'll be built through a solid, strong foundation, a systematic process, and we'll be putting something out there on the court that the community can be proud of.

"The vision is to evaluate immediately, so it'll be evaluating the roster, the staff, the needs, finding out what can be put in in the meantime," Marks added. "By no means is this a wasted year. I think you can still get some things out of this year. We've got some really talented young guys on this team that need to be developed. We've got a culture that needs to be set, and that starts from day one."

The Brooklyn Nets hired Sean Marks as general manager but they will still seek a big name head coach and free agents in the offseason.

Marks comes from the San Antonio Spurs, who have followed a different path historically, albeit with Tim Duncan as the anchor of the team.

The Nets have previously been linked to Tom Thibodeau and John Calipari. Calipari is less likely to leave Kentucky for the NBA without full control of the basketball operations.

With Marks getting the job, however, the Nets could also pursue Ettore Messina or Ime Udoka.

The Brooklyn Nets have named Sean Marks as General Manager. 

“After an exhaustive vetting process, we are delighted to have Sean as our General Manager,” Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov said. “His experience on the court, in coaching and management gives him a 360 degree view of the job at hand. His background helping to build one of the greatest teams in the NBA gives him an unparalleled frame of reference. And he impressed us all with his vision, his values, his personality and his enthusiasm for the club. The vote to select him from an incredible list of talent was unanimous. We welcome Sean into our Nets family and look forward to his strong leadership and independent thinking as we build our own success story.”

“I am very excited to be named the General Manager of the Brooklyn Nets, and to become a member of the vibrant and dynamic organization that represents Brooklyn,” Marks said. "I would like to thank Nets’ ownership for giving me this opportunity, and I look forward to the challenge of creating a unified culture and building a winning team."

Marks joins the Nets after spending the past five years with the San Antonio Spurs, including the last two seasons as the team’s assistant general manager.

Adrian Wojnarowski reports Marks agreed to a four-year contract after the Nets significantly increased their offer.

Joe Johnson is in the final season of a six-year, $123.7 million contract he signed in 2010 with the Atlanta Hawks. With a salary of $24.894 million this season and the Brooklyn Nets out of playoff contention, Johnson has been thought of as a buyout candidate.

But Marc Stein and Dave McMenamin reported Johnson doesn't have interest in a buyout.

Johnson reportedly will seek a multi-year deal from the Nets in the offseason.

The Nets traded for Johnson in 2012.
