    He wasn't the full owner back then to make decisions on his own.
    There are many businessmen who are geniuses and even more successful than Tsai but when it comes time to be at a helm of a sports organisation they make awful mistakes, because you can't just run a franchise like you run a general business.
    I take it for granted that he will make many mistakes because I haven't seen a single new owner who hasn't. Good luck.

    I've been a Nets fan since the late 1980's (although I stopped being a fan when they first moved to Brooklyn...started up again when they signed Lin), and I became a Lin fan when he was a senior at Harvard. And while I do know people who know Joe Tsai and Lin, I have never met either and have no connection/affiliation with either other than being a fan.

    All owners, experienced or not, make errors. I was not so hopeful when Prokorov originally bought the team, but I don't get the same vibe from Joe. I expect Joe to be more like a laid-back Mark Cuban than a guy like James Dolan.

    Very true. To LOF, the Nets betrayed Lin when they traded him after he worked so hard to get healthy again.

    For me, I just bought my 11-game mini-plan for the Nets' upcoming season. Got the Rockets in the package, so I'm looking forward to seeing that game, among the others.

    What they need to do with users is that they have to post in the GARM in order to post in the dish

    They are cancer and don't care about anything but Lin and harassing others on basketball forums. I've seen it on reddit, pls get rid of them

    1999 is a special year to me because it is the year of my birth bro. I have no idea what it has to do w/ this godzilla robot dude though.
