Not only did they move, they move to a horrible arena where everyone is squeezed in On top of each other. The sight lines at the Barclays stink.
I see that place being torn down in another 15 years

Guess we're ingnoring the first 3 seasons in Brooklyn when we averaged 17,000 a game and were middle of the pack attendance-wise. When the team was competitive and in the playoffs people came and that building was loud for big games.
When we're trying to rebuild the mess we got left in, people are not coming. And yet we're still not dead last in attendance. Bucks, Nuggets, and T-Wolves have worse #s. So all you've proven here is that shytty teams don't draw fans like the good ones. What a shocker.
No, we're not gonna "Take over NY" like those dumb campaigns they ran. The Knicks are always NY's team, just like the Giants, Yankees, and Rangers. NY sports is made up of Big Bro-Little Bro, this is just another example of it.
The first 3 years proved a competitive team will draw interest. Not Knicks level interest, but interest that makes Brooklyn more than viable.

If you want to know why the stadiums empty look no further than these two posts. Prokerich thought he could buy himself a championship and he learned the hard way that it doesn't work that way. And for his hubris he was left in cap hell and no 1st picks for years. In addition to that, Brooklyn isn't a basketball town. The Brookyln that most people would think about is far away from Barclays and closer to Queens. Near the stadium its nothing but hipsters and musty bichs that don't shave.

Yeah. Unfortunately, they're 5 years away from that, now. And I do wonder what the financial cost of this low attendance is, compared to that in less expensive metropolitan areas.
They was hot when they started, now they just garbage

They're only pulling in 2-3,000 less paying customers than the peak, and merchandise sales are stronger than tickets because of the branding, which Lin is gonna help big time. And Prokhorov is not a penny-pincher, if it was that bad he would have left already.
The team this year is already miles ahead of last, we still arent good but they try every night and that is connecting with the fans. I had zero interest in them last season, I'm interested again.
While yes it will be tough, it is not the impossible situation the OP makes it out to be.
This sounds like the commercial the Cleveland Indians did in Major LeagueSomeone was going around the city putting up fake Nets ads showing to Deron Williams on some "Brooklyn....I'm an American basketball player who plays on your local team. Like you, I also have a beard ."

They dont have Porzingis nor Melo bringing folks into the game.
Just a trash boring team with 0 momentum and 0 potential. They are playing in a city with a team that are doing better and are why exciting so why is it shocking that they are gravitating more attention?

Even if the arena has spacing issues, the people who own the arena are not going to tear down a new facility in a prime location. This isn't 1970 anymore, there aren't many vacant spaces in the city that's close to downtown/midtown build at anymore.
