The Inbounds: The new Brooklyn Empire and the Crown of Relevance
ProBasketballTalk [NBCSports.com]
by Matt Moore
There are questions about how the Nets went about clearing out the populace for the Barclays Center, questions about Dolan’s price gouging, questions about Billy King’s decision making, about how CAA runs the Knicks, are the Nets a real superstar team, is Carmelo Anthony a player you can win with. It’s a whole Baz Luhrmann flick on hardwood.
...The Nets, more so than even during their stretch of Finals contention, are relevant. They matter. They aren’t dominant enough for us to just accept, they aren’t mediocre enough for us to ignore. They’re just a really good basketball team looking to rewrite history.
NoLandGrab: Yeah, they're a great story so long as you don't dwell to much on "questions about how the Nets went about clearing out the populace."
