It’s a bit of an odd pairing —the NBA’s first owners from Russia and greater China— with very different timelines. Mikhail Prokhorov who agreed to buy the team 10 years ago this September and is slowly headed to the sidelines. Joe Tsai who will take over from him in two years then plans to keep the team for the rest of his life. A Russian oligarch and a Taiwanese/Canadian tech giant.
