In his first extended interview since the absence and return of Kyrie Irving and the trade for James Harden, Sean Marks told Evan Roberts and Craig Carton that he’s looking long term at Brooklyn’s possibilities including plans to offer extensions to his “Big Three.”
“I think we’re definitely committed to these guys. We’re not doing these trades like this thinking ‘Hey look, it’s a fleeting moment here.’” said Marks, when asked about extending Harden, Irving and Kevin Durant. “We want to put ourselves as the leader in the clubhouse. We want these guys to stick around.”
Under the CBA, the Nets can sign the three players this August to extensions that would kick in a year later, the 2022-23 season.
