This has been in the works for more than a year. a group of investors including Jay-Z bought the team and has been trying to move it to brooklyn if Brooklyn was willing to sell a large plot of land for the arena/center.
September 14, 200520 yr This is one the things where I'll believe it when I see it. It's been discussed for a while now.
September 14, 200520 yr 1.) Throwbacks f***ing rock. 2.) Jay-Z is a rich motherf***er and he can make them the Rio De Janeiro Nets if he wanted...
September 15, 200520 yr Jay-Z is richer than us, yes, but he's doesn't have the money to run a franchise. He's only worth 300 million. I know it seems like I'm trying to downplay 300 million, but all owners in the NBA are worth tons more. Jay-Z owns a very small percentage of the team and is really a figurehead for the Nets. They're trying to appeal to the hip-hop audience with him.
