Brooklyn Nets governor Joe Tsai acknowledged the team’s underperformance last season, stating, “In New York, the Brooklyn Nets are at a crossroads.”

Tsai explained that the focus is on building a team capable of long-term success, guiding decisions away from short-term, win-now strategies.

“We didn’t do as well as we expected last season. We didn’t make the playoffs,” Tsai said. “But we hope to revamp the team and make sure that we can compete in the long run… There’s a difference between I want to win, versus I want to build a winning mentality and culture that’s sustainable.

“Those two are very different things. If you just want to be win-now you could ruin your future by trading away all of your assets, but I think what I want to do with the Brooklyn Nets is take a longer-term approach and build a winning sustainable culture.”
