Brooklyn Nets' General Manager, Sean Marks, was recently interviewed with HoopsHype's Michael Scotto. In the exchange, the GM told about a possibilities of hiring a new coach for next season. While Marks would not want to limit himself to only hiring an experienced head coach, there's a belief that going that way brings more benefit to a franchise that's restructuring, but not rebuilding, and such is the case for the Nets.
Among the potential candidates to lead the Nets, Mike Budenholzer's name has come up strongly due to his connection to the Spurs coaching tree, championship history and prominence in the market. In addition, James Borrego is mentioned as another option. While some might suggest Jay Wright, this seems unlikely due to the potential time and logistical complications that would come with his hiring.
As the Nets continue to evaluate their options for the coaching position, the final decision could hinge on whether they opt for a quick retooling approach or are willing to embark on a longer process. In either case, the selection of the team's new leader will be a crucial step in the direction the franchise will take in the coming years.
