The New Jersey Nets have finally been sold. That's good news for some and bad news for others and they're said to be moving to Brooklyn...
The Nets' owners have agreed to sell the team for $300 million to a New York City real estate developer Bruce Ratner, along with a team of investors which include hip-hop businessman Jay-Z. It's a move that could bring Brooklyn its first major sports franchise since the Dodgers moved to LA.
However the building of a massive $2.5 billion complex which includes the arena -- involves destroying houses and re-locating several thousand persons. That will definitely be a problem. And, in a sense, it goes against the grain of what Jay-Z seems to be about.
The rapper has always projected an image of being down for the people of his 'hood, Brooklyn and The Marcy Projects in particular. Oh well, we'll see.

LoL, Jay-Z might very well be the first black president.
He'll sign Bush to Roc-a-fella, and become president as part of the deal.

They are moving because there is no public transport to the current stadium, so crowd numbers never reach capacity/potential

Exactly, and just think how packed out they would be every week in Brooklyn, it makes perfect business sense. Could be pretty grimy out there for visiting teams though.
