The Mets were able to acquire Jose and Gustavo Santos from the Rio Piedras Cardinals whom they had defeated the previous year in the Superior Basketball league semi finals.

The Mets were reborn with the Santos trade and looked to their minor league for future stars Papiro Leon, Fico Lopez, Papote Agosto.

So dominant and young was this team, that a dynasty was born, the Mets reached the finals in 4 consecutive years winning two championships.

[2][3] Owners Marc Grossman and Mark Linder initially eyed Roberto Clemente Coliseum as the home court for their new team, but San Juan's Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz expressed concerns the team wouldn't be able to play a full season at the venue due to previously scheduled events.

[5][9] Prior to the 2020 season, Grossman pursued former NBA All Star Metta World Peace to be the Mets' head coach.

[10][6] The team was also considering former NBA All Star Charles Oakley, Paco Olmos, Allans Colón, and Carlos Calcaño.

[11] In December 2019, World Peace held tryouts for the team in Los Angeles, but was not officially named coach.
