EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Rod Thorn isn’t cleaning out his office in his final week as the New Jersey Nets president and general manager.
The 69-year-old executive was hard at work Monday. He wants to find a new GM and sign a power forward, if a good one is out there at the right price.
Thorn also says he is not retiring and he’s not bitter. So if someone has a front office NBA job or television gig, give him a call. He’s interested.
Thorn insists that new owner Mikhail Prokhorov did not force him out after a 10-year stint that included two trips to the NBA finals and an enjoyable but disappointing last foray into a free agency market featuring LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.
