Joseph Tsai – co-founder of the Alibaba Group and the Nets governor – was appreciative of James Harden and the Nets on Twitter. As per Tsai, the team is yet to reach its full potential. “The best is yet to come,” Tsai wrote.

Fans had varied reactions to Tsai’s tweet. Many insisted that the team needs a shooter, which would in turn increase their depth. Certain fans countered the claim by mentioning Joe Harris, convinced that he is all the team needs for now. “What could this possibly mean,” asked one fan, looking for some layered meaning behind the Nets governer’s tweet.

Many even spoke of Kyrie Irving, hoping to see a change in his rules. As per many fans, the Nets need Irving to win the title. However, the rules might prevent him from playing in the playoffs or otherwise altogether.
