Nets raid Spurs again, land Andy Birdsong as assistant GM

After having their brain trust slowly bled, the Nets have added two assistant general managers over Memorial Day Weekend, Andy Birdsong joining the recently hired Jeff Peterson with the same job title.

Birdsong is another young mind whom Brooklyn GM Sean Marks has plucked off the Spurs tree, while he and Peterson have shared history in Atlanta. The tandem will help stave off the brain drain that’s been going on in Brooklyn.

“Andy is an accomplished basketball executive who brings a wealth of experience in talent evaluation and roster construction to our front office team,” Marks said in a statement.
