Gregg Popovich
Sean Marks’ old coach was surprisingly brought up during the debate on ESPN’s “First Take” on Monday by Stephen A. Smith:
I’m just saying if Sean Marks was able to convince Gregg Popovich to come to Brooklyn, ’cause you gotta remember Gregg Popovich, you’re seeing Tim Duncan, you got Becky Hammon, you got these folks on his bench that he wants to elevate. I’m not saying anything other than Sean Marks, closely associated to Gregg Popovich, if you could get the great Gregg Popovich to come to Brooklyn, well then that’s a deal. That’s a big-time move right there.
According to @stephenasmith, there are only three candidates to fill the head coaching job with the Brooklyn Nets …

Popovich would certainly be a jaw-dropping acquisition for the Nets.
