Sean Kilpatrick was Sean Marks’ first acquisition when he took over as GM of the Nets. Trevor Booker was Marks’ second off-season pickup as GM, right after Jeremy Lin. Less than two seasons later, both are gone.
Each served their role in Brooklyn. Booker was signed to provide energy and leadership on a two-year, $18 million contract. He was that and more. Kilpatrick turned 10-day contract into a multi-year extension and became a sparkplug off the bench, someone who once said he could roll out of bed and score 10 points.
