LAS VEGAS — Months before the Nets decided to rebuild, Jordi Fernandez — even back when he was interviewing for the head-coaching job with general manager Sean Marks — knew“I mean, Sean said it, that I was going through a process,” Fernandez said. “We know that we wanted to do something sustainable and we wanted to win and build something very special.
