Thorn Retiring July 15th

[Jersey Generals]

Thorn had a trade for Paul in place that Prokhorov vetoed and rightly decided the guy is another hands on owner who thinks he has all the answers. Thanks most for the Kidd - Marbury trade Rod. If he wants another job he'll have it quickly as possibly only Jerry West has a more respected name in the business.

Looks like Jeff Bower has dropped out of the chase to replace Nets president Rod Thorn.

Hornets just issued a statement saying "it is not the right fit fo the Nets or myself."

Good news if this means that Marks and Presti are the 2 finalists

Again, why is this good news? Jeff Bower is a very good GM.

Because Presti is better than him.

Bower is fine - just think Presti has proven he has a really good eye for drafting. Westbrook was a gutty pick but he knew he could fit him into the system. Made a great hire with Scott Brooks. Ibaka was a good pick. Maynor. Kristic was a smart pickup for that team. Basically just seems to make a lot of solid moves without using major resources which is going to be an important characteristic for whoever our new GM is. (assuming sooner rather then later we use our cap room).

Still prefr Bobby Marks over all these guys. Keep it in house...same thinking.
