EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -Rod Thorn says he would have changed his mind and remained as the Nets’ president and general manager if LeBron James had decided to play in New Jersey.
In a 90-minute frank conversation with beat writers on his final day on the job, Thorn reminisced about his decade with the Nets and also recalled fond memories from his nearly half-century association with the NBA.
Most of the time, the 69-year-old laughed, telling one funny story after another.
Thorn was also serious. He admits it was time to leave the Nets, who he believes have a bright future despite winning just 12 games last season.
However, he does not want to retire and he is hoping someone will call with an offer for a new NBA journey.
