- Jordi Fernandez was officially introduced as the Nets Head Coach and gave a glimpse into what the future holds for Brooklyn.
From wanting to be a fast paced team to establishing top 10 ability on both ends of the floor - the through-thread from Jordi was about setting expectations and a concrete plan that everyone in the organization is on board with.
All indications are Nic Claxton has high expectations from the new Nets coach, who indicated the impending Free Agent will be critical to the team's goals moving forward.
The young core overall was an exciting factor for Coach Fernandez as well, citing the short term results that will be expected, but the long-term growth that will bread stability.
Sean Marks also spoke on the next phase of the young career of Cam Thomas as well as the offseason expectations for Ben Simmons.

Im excited to see how Jordi can motivate and help develop this team. It’s on the players and team to buy in as well. I have good hope next season.
Cam will benefit the most from this. He will be really good and actually has to play defense if he wants burn.
He played defense last yr. And he’s the best player n the team. If they’re going to keep playing mind games then trade him
What I liked about the conference was that they talked a lot about youth and the process which if that is the case, I hope they really mean that they’re gonna try to really rebuild this team rather than go star searching or star hoping. I liked what they said about Claxton. He is far too young to let walk out the door without trying to hold onto him.
However, in all the talk about youth, there was seemingly lack of admission that you have a bunch of players in the roster that really don’t fit the youth timeline. bridges is gonna be what 27 years old Cam Johnson 28 years old, DFS, Ben Simmons all players who are in the we need to contend now Window. So there are two different roster construction visions that do not make connect and marks really needs to choose a path this off-season.
Jordi will be good depending on the roster Sean Marks puts out there, fingers crossed, Marks doesn’t 💩 the bed with the roster moves
Hey thats all you can do. Cross your fingers and hope to avoid a turd.
Judging by what Marks has presented with this roster expect a Poo Poo Platter
Do you guys think that Atkinson was ever considered in the head coaching search considering how much he achieved with this team (with so little)in his stint here?
Welp we may be battling Washington for last place for a few seasons depending on which draft picks/players we can get. No expectations.
I wish Jordi good luck. It wont be a day at the beach turning the Nets fortune around, even in the best of circumstances. Very few first time head coaches could accomplish what the management and fan base expect/hope he could do in his first season. Win consistently. Any that think otherwise is just wishful thinking. It remain to be seen whether he'll be a savior or just another sacrificial lamb like the two previous head coaches Jacque Vaugh and Kevin Ollie. I'll gladly eat crow if I'm wrong but I don't think it a matter of if but when things go south next season, it will be a consolation with Ben's contract off the books plus other thing could happen that'll increase our cap space for the 2025-2026 season. At this time, its possible the Marks will be replaced and also Jordi. After all, a new GM would want to hire his own hand picked head coach. Should that happen, the whole process could start from scratch...again..
Hi Claude…gosh…you’re already talking about Jordi being replaced and he was just introduced as the new head coach. 😊😊
@@michaelcammarata1677 Hello Michael.. I'm trying to be realistic after taking everything into consideration. My conclusion about Jordi's fortune is based on a Herculean effort it's going to take to turn the team around in the time frame for the management and the fan base to appreciate.. Neither have patience. History has shown that. I'll always be angry about how unceremoniously Jacque Vaughn was fired in the first year of a 4 year contract and regardless of who try to justify it with redundant talking points, it wont change my feelings. Kevin Ollie didn't do any better as his replacement and neither will first year head coach Jordi. I'll be glad if I'm wrong....I doubt I will be.
@@claudesmith9422I think the Nets will do better than last year……that shouldn’t be hard to do. The team has a lot of young talent so in my view there are some positive possibilities. I would just like to see them win 5 more games next year than this year. For better or worse, I don’t think the organization will continue to play musical chairs with coaches. That is counterproductive. They will give Jordi a chance to make his mark.
@@michaelcammarata1677 It's going to be interesting to see whether the Nets fan base get fed up with Jordi if the team don't have just as good or better win/loss record in the same time frame as Jacque Vaughn and if Marks replace him the same way. First year head coaches coming into an environment as unstable as the Nets spells a poor seasons. There's too many "ifs" that haven't been addressed. I don't base my optimism on the positive press conference comments by Jordi and especially not by Marks. I think the Nets will give Jordi just this season and decide his fate...Marks also. If things go side ways, they'll both probably will be gone by the end of next season.
Adam crushing it as always. Agree with everything here except I want claxton gone for picks to keep rebuilding. He has zero offensive game and can't guard any 4/5s. Reached his peak already and isn't getting any thicker anytime soon. Go get sengun or a passing big to strerch the floor instead of wasting $20M on a SF masquerading as a C
Clash coming in off the top rope! All comes down to cost. Interesting what his market is and what the Nets would pay to keep him.
He reminds me of Sean Williams during the Jason Kidd era. Although williams was a better shot blocker. I'd take claxton back for $15M, but clowney can do everything Claxton can for a whole lot less $$. Commit to the rebuild and trade clax for picks that we so desperately need until phx collapses In a few years
@@clashbandicoot793 right $15-18m is different than $20-23m
We are fans of Clowney, but I wouldn’t presume he can do all the rim protecting Claxton does(at least not yet)
I agree with you 100% Claxton is a waste of time, can't shoot, can't push any big men around. Never going to get much better. I think Sean marks has a thing about being bigger than everybody else on the team, including the coach!
@wellrounded713 love it! If we bring back claxton next year for $20M we already know the ceiling or at least close to what we could be with clowney and cam thomas growing together. If you sign and trade claxton brings opportunities for other scorers adam mentioned like kelly oubre
Same old rhetoric by GM and a new coach. Overall I thought the whole introduction was underwhelming. Maybe its the mood I'm in after so many head coach changes in the last few years lol.
Mikal will benefit from a solid coach
Have to hope everyone will.
I think Jordy is gonna get the most out of Clowney and Claxton as well as motivate Bridges to be *NOT* the star but the leader he needs to be. As far as the whole Ben Simmons thing…idk. I hope he gets on his ass. And I know Cam Thomas is just gonna flourish under Fernandez’s offense. It’s the defensive side I worry about
Bridges as the best player is when the team looks the most competitive they feed off the energy he plays with new coach gotta recognize that and maximize his talent
The whole idea on where this team wants to go is ridiculous, outside of Cam Thomas the rest of the team stinks, no talent at all on this team! Sean Marks should have been the first one to go. This team has become a total non-entity!
How do you know Cleveland will face Boston. Miami is still in the series against them you know.
Recorded ahead of the classic Heat underdog road victory. Would be too good if Miami took down Boston
@@LockedOnNets It's possible but not probable. Would it be good? It depend on which team you're a fan of.
Seems like a "fit" for this team.
Problem is the moment a star joins the nets they will have jordi fired
I hope this new coach is the signal that Mark is finally ready to stop playing half pregnant and go in on a real rebuild. That means at minimum moving off or putting out feelers for bridges and cam Johnson and DFS. And stop pretending like you’re one star player away from being a serious contender
Our team still gone be trash why is everyone acting like he gone save us lol
Trade Bridges and Johnson they don't fit the youth movement
Lol nets need to go back to jersey with these stupid ass moves, international coaches never work out in the NBA, and how the hell does Sean marks still have a job?
Absolutely zero faith in Sean Marks and his decisions. How many years is he gonna steer this Titanic disappointment of a team?
SEAN and Joe sucks, that's JORDI first problem!!!!!
