Nets GM Sean Marks Received The Best Birthday Gift

It just so happened to occur on his birthday.

Yes, Marks was born on August 23, 1975.

That means that he is turning 47 on the very same day that his team officially retains its biggest player.

Happy birthday indeed.

Marks Making It Happen

For a brief moment, it appeared as if Durant would return but Marks would not.

Inside reports stated that Durant told the Nets that they’d have to either get rid of him or Marks and head coach Steve Nash – all three of them could not work together, Durant claimed.

Well, that isn’t the case anymore as all three are returning for the new season with a newly-committed drive to make it far into the playoffs.

Marks stood his ground, as did the rest of the Nets organization.

They didn’t budge and they didn’t give into Durant’s demands.

In the end, they came out victorious.

Now the team is once again preparing to get the best out of Durant, Kyrie Irving, and the rest of the team.

It’s been a long, tiring summer but it’ll all be worth it for the squad if they can become a true force in the Eastern Conference.
