Everything changed pretty much when the YankeeNets business partnership dissolved.
No doubt in my mind had the Nets won the championship over the Spurs in 03, Katz group doesn't sell off the Nets and Prudential Center is an equal partnership between Devils and Nets. As for NJ ever getting another NBA franchise, won't happen under the current ownership of the Devils. They dont see the need for the NBA in their building and they own the Sixers so yea.

"Good to know."
My man, you clearly do not know anything about Barclays, Brooklyn, the area, the culture, or the development.
So why are you arguing?
Why don't you instead do a little research, hit google up, check the Times, which did a ton of contemporaneous reporting, as well as the Daily News and WSJ which have basically been following the arena and its impact... and then come back to us?
You're acting real silly right now.

Brooklyn the planet...
I live about 6-7 blocks from the Barclays and it's only really electric when there is a concert in town or when the rangers play the islanders. The nets fan fare has waned and even though it's cheaper there to see the knicks, it still ain't the garden. I believe it's not far enough to get people to pick the Barclays over MSG. The train ride between the two is 15 mins. It's cool though that Brooklyn has an arena that houses events such as Disney on Ice, hip hop and music concerts and college games. And for me personally I can walk from my door to see NBA games or what have you, I love it
Visited plenty of times and have done my research.. Brooklyn is gentrified, most have moved to Jersey or down south

People just want the nets to be moved to Seattle. I've seen tons of 2k17 franchise videos where they move the nets to Seattle.This shyt here
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.
Seattle is not getting a team anytime soon
Las Vegas will get a team first before the nba returns to Seattle.
dont care about the nets.
basketball is a non-sport freak show featuring a group of pituitary cases trying to stuff a ball through a hoop.
