In the latest edition of “The Bridge,” the Nets video magazine, there’s a lot of talk about the future and little about the past as the organization focused on the transition from a superstar-dominated roster to one that will win — or lose — by committee...
In one of the few original quotes, Sean Marks talked about how Kyrie Irving’s trade request made the organization realize they had to think long-term, beyond the present.
“When Kyrie requested a trade, that’s sort of sped up our timeline to ask ourselves some difficult questions whether this was the time to go into what sort of a rebuild, retool whatever verbiage you want to choose,” said Marks of the February 3 request, reiterating a point made by others, that the organization had planned on re-evaluating the “Big Three” era in the summer.
