Nyet to Nets in Brooklyn?
Nets Daily
A NetsDaily translation of the full Forbes Russia interview with Mikhail Prokhorov reveals the team plans a name change once it moves to Brooklyn, and that in fact documents seeking approval for the change have been submitted to the NBA. He didn't disclose the name.
In the NetsDaily translation of the interview, provided by a Russian-speaking fan, Prokhorov is asked "What will be the team's name after the move to Brooklyn?" His response: "I can not tell you right now, but the documents are already submitted to the NBA office. The name change will happen in 2012 season."
NoLandGrab: A stated goal of the Atlantic Yards was to remove blight, but it appears that the project will create blight with an arena and acres of parking lots. Perhaps the Nets will be renamed the "Brooklyn Blighters."
