Would be a good move and consistent with what they do with their playing roster.

Nice.

Will that move Sean Marks back into strictly office operations?

Good move...will help them continue to pick up Euroleague bargins and hidden gems to fill out the roster.

Also great basketball mind and is very well thought of.

I don't think it will move Marks back to the front office. NBA teams obviously have several (4-5 I think) assistant coaches. The Spurs just want more experience and a insurance incase Popivich retires suddenly.

This signing makes sense, more so for San Antonio than any other franchise. They should get the most out of his abilities.

Sean Marks was a part of the Spurs' front office?

He was in the 2012-13 season, then he moved to their coaching staff.
