I had a chance to chat Friday afternoon with Bobby Marks, a front office insider for ESPN who used to be an assistant GM with the NBA’s Nets.
Marks generated great interest in the Twin Cities on Thursday when he tweeted about Karl-Anthony Towns and the possibility that he can earn $188 million on a five-year extension after being named third-team All-NBA.
Twitter isn’t the best place for nuance, so our follow up discussion revealed a lot of great information from Marks, who has a far more detailed working knowledge of the collective bargaining agreement than me.
