    Chinese Investor, with Yao being the head of Basketball Operations. The Chinese don't give a damn about luxury tax and apparently, the Chinese owner of AC Milan has spent $150m this summer alone without breaking a sweat. And this is gonna continue for another month or so too. Crazy.

    Clutchfans has how many members? We can all chip in to buy the team.

    We'll immediately hire DaDakota to be the head of our scouting team.

    A crazy rich Chinese investor would be nice.

    Luxury taxes and multiple super max contracts scared the **** out of Les and he is bolting as soon as he can.

    The Chinese investors can pay crazy money. The money handed out to soccer players are insane

    Chinese owners are too hands on. Could be a potential Vivek situation.

    The best case scenario would be an owner who could care less about direct profit from the team and do it solely for advertising. A Chinese owner would be exactly that. Why sweat millions on luxury tax when you are making billions in free advertising.
