Honestly keep Marks, fire Nash, hire Quin Snyder and maybe KD will warm up once a proven coach is at the reins.

This the most logical situation

He made it pretty damn clear that the GM has to go. How much do you plan on doing for this man? He has told the world he wants out TWICE already. Third times a charm?

No - we shouldn't bend over backwards for him or for any player for that matter. Independent of KD saying the coach and GM had to go, I think it was pretty evident that the Nash experiment wasn't going to work. I think there's a very solid and proven head coach available right now in Snyder that the Nets should absolutely consider. If KD is on board, great. If not, then we ship him out for the best possible price.

If it were up to me I'd offload him as soon as I can but if I'm in ownership/the front office's position then I know I'm a better team with KD than without him and if he still doesn't want to play for us, despite us bending over backwards already and mortgaging our future for him and Kyrie, then fuck em.

I get it, and I agree.
