NY Post
TORONTO — David Koch Jr. is on the brink of becoming the Nets’ newest minority owner — and among the NBA’s youngest and wealthiest.
Koch Jr., who is still in his late 20s, has been shopping for a team investment for roughly a year, a source familiar with the situation told the Post.
Now he’s in discussions with Nets owner Joe Tsai about buying a stake in Brooklyn.
Bloomberg first reported the news.
The talks are advanced and have been going on for over a month, a source told The Post.
The Koch family is one of the wealthiest and most influential in the entire country, their political clout well-documented.
