The new Nets look to Brooklyn and the future looks bright
New York Amsterdam News
by Richard G. Carter
Sure, they're coming of a 22-44 season that was a huge improvement from their previous campaign, and their best player is likely to leave through free agency, but never mind that...
These days, the Nets are all-in for Brooklyn, where they will be the first major league team to represent the fabled borough since the beloved Dodgers split for Los Angeles after the 1957 season. Bankrolled by Russia’s flamboyant Mikhail Prokhorov—the richest owner in pro sports—and buoyed by a bold, black-and-white color scheme and the spanking-new Barclays Center, the future is bright.
The Nets’ Brooklyn-bound status was first touted in a huge, 80-by-60-foot Deron Williams’ billboard in Times Square. Much like Jason Kidd, Williams is a game-changing, All-Star playmaker who makes everyone better.
NoLandGrab: And when WIlliams joins Kidd in Dallas for the 2012-2013 season, the Mavericks will be looking to regain their elite status.
