After a late-night effort and increased contract offer, the Brooklyn Nets have hired Sean Marks as their new general manager, the team announced Thursday.
"After an exhaustive vetting process, we are delighted to have Sean as our General Manager," Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov said in a statement. "His experience on the court, in coaching and management gives him a 360 degree view of the job at hand."
The Nets made an overnight push Wednesday in their attempt to hire Marks, improving their offer and negotiating with the San Antonio Spurs' assistant general manager late into the night, sources told ESPN.
