The D-League also is useful to those with goals of gaining employment in the NBA, and that includes those such as Marks and Dell Demps, the former Spurs assistant GM who runs the New Orleans Hornets. “Being GM of my own team is a dream, for sure,” Marks said. “I know I have a long way to go, but I have a great stepping stone now with the opportunity I have had to learn from Pop, Danny (Ferry), Dennis (former assistant GM Dennis Lindsey). “The way R.C. handles it is amazing: He says, ‘Here, have fun with it; it’s your team, run it. He doesn’t micromanage, and until he gets sick of me asking question after question, I’ll keep picking his brain.” San Antonio Express-News

In his new role as Spurs director of basketball operations, Sean Marks has one duty that is not listed among his official responsibilities: primary recipient of Tim Duncan’s daily ribbing. Whether it’s verbal or visual, the Spurs captain usually finds a way to take a daily jab at his good friend and former teammate and backup big man. “Can you believe I have to put up with that guy?” Marks joked Tuesday after the Spurs formally announced his appointment as both director of basketball operations and general manager of their D-League team, the Austin Toros.

I spoke with Bobcats general manager Rod Higgins before the game about his plan to re-sign Dominic McGuire, then add D-Leaguer Garrett Temple with a roster spot to be created by waiving Sean Marks.

The Charlotte Bobcats are reconsidering their decision to cut Sean Marks from their NBA roster. Marks arrived in Charlotte last week as part of a deal with the Portland Trial Blazers just prior to the trade deadline.
