Yeah it's BS. Sean Mark's has done a great job there, at least until they landed Durant. Dude did a magnificent job of rebuilding that team after that ridiculous trade with Boston.

I don't think its personal with Marks or Nash but its a power move by KD telling them he REALLY WANTS OUT and there is no going back.

If I'm the Nets owner I'm firing Marks and Nash.
Nash is not a good coach so addition by subtraction. Marks is meh as a GM, made some good moves but has totally botched the relationship with his stars. He's easily replaced.
Then you have a motivated KD and Kyrie playing hard this season. They still have enough talent to win it all if Simmons plays.
That is their best outcome by far.

important tidbits
Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant told team owner Joe Tsai that he will continue to request a trade from the franchise unless head coach Steve Nash and general manager Sean Marks are fired, sources told The Athletic's Shams Charania.
The Raptors, Celtics, and Miami Heat are seen as the most likely trade destinations for Durant, sources told Charania.
The Nets aim to take "every last asset" from their trade partner in any deal for Durant, according to Charania.

Superstars are flexing their power all the time (Kawhi, Lebron... even Giannis to some extent); but they are just a whole lot more smooth and discreet with it than KD & Kyrie have been doing. They let the convos and disagreements play out behind the scenes with few leaks.

It's shitty the whole world knows his demands. Durant would have never went to BKN if it wasn't for Marks, even if Marks had nothing to directly do with his signing there. Throwing him under the bus when that team goes from having no players or picks to speak of, to being in position to get Durant, kyrie and harden together is just a bad look IMO. He's been a brilliant GM IMO. Durant should let him do his job.

Well if that is the case, then I could see the Heat becoming a legit option because Riley's a madman. I could see him breaking up his whole team just to trade for a superstar. I don't see the Raps or the Celtics doing that though.Mamba Mentality

There's that and there's also the fact that those guys deliver - they all have track records of winning titles. Durant's track record outside of GSW (where he had little say, if any) doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
And they won this year with a core that’s 3 years older and post injuries.
