NEW YORK -- There is growing concern within the Brooklyn Nets organization that they will be unable to lure their preferred general manager candidate, Sean Marks, from the San Antonio Spurs, according to league sources.
Sources told ESPN.com that the Nets are well aware Marks is wrestling mightily with the decision after emerging as the team's top choice. But sources said Wednesday that the Spurs remained hopeful of convincing him to stay put.
Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov told reporters Wednesday that, contrary to one published report, he had not yet offered the job to Marks and that he would need another week to choose from among three finalists for the position: Marks, Denver Nuggets executive Arturas Karnosivas and two-time NBA Executive of the Year Bryan Colangelo.
