As a born Brooklynite who now resides in Jersey, the idea of the New Jersey Nets moving to Brooklyn is so exciting and great for the city. Although, I'm not a NJ Nets fan - I can't really stand to see them play since Jason Kidd, Tayshon Prince, and Kenyon Martin days. I think the idea of Brooklyn having their own team is just a good look for obvious reasons, (the Knicks suck). With the help of Nets owners Bruce Ratner and rapper Jay-Z (who grew up in Marcy Projects) they need to seal the deal, settle all the logistics and make it happen. The move date was set for the 2009-2010 season, now I hear its been delayed again for the 2010-2011 season. Only time will tell. So much speculation has been surfacing regarding this acquistion to building construction, zoning and eminent domain issues; to see it fail will be such a disappointment.
