The Nets need a general manager after reassigning Billy King, and they’re reportedly eyeing two-time NBA Executive of the Year Bryan Colangelo for the job.
NetsDaily and ESPN reported the former Raptors and Suns general manager is a leading candidate.
The Nets’ reputation has taken a serious hit with an image of instability and a revolving door of eight coaches in seven years. They spent copious sums of money and traded away reams of draft picks for just one playoff series win during King’s 5 1/2-year tenure.
But landing Colangelo would be a huge step toward presenting the proverbial grownup in the room and being viewed as a well-run organization (Colangelo’s father, Jerry, was just hired by the 76ers as an advisor, for similar effect).
