Brooklyn Nets general manager Sean Marks says commenting on Kyrie Irving's rumored dysfunction with the Boston Celtics “isn’t the right thing.”
Marks, like Nets head coach Kenny Atkinson, wants to get to know Irving first-hand and believes using rumors to describe a player isn't the right way to approach things.
“I think it’s pretty difficult and it probably wouldn’t be the right thing for me to comment on what happened at different organizations,” Marks said, via Steve Bulpett the Boston Herald. “I’m not a part of it. I don’t know what happened in the locker room. To comment on hearsay and scuttlebutt isn’t the right thing.
“All I can do is comment on what’s going on inside our franchise, and, again, we use our players for a lot of that. So I think it’s about bringing these guys into our culture, into our locker room, into our environment, and bet on all the people that we have bet on now for three years. And putting our arms around these guys and see where it goes from there.”
Kyrie Irving didn't leave the Celtics on good terms, at least that's what has been written and reported since the season ended.
The Nets are hoping that being in a new environment close to home will be beneficial to Irving, who will be around two of his closest friends in Kevin Durant and DeAndre Jordan.
