It's going to be tougher to sell right now. The Yankees and Mets are being investigated for their new stadium. They over stated the value of the land by 600-1000% and now the Feds are investigating because the whole USA taxpayers are paying for the stadiums. This means the Nets will have a hard time building a new arena.

Selling this team won't be easy but it would be the only way they stay in Jersey because I know that Ratner has no plans of taking this team to Newark and sharing that arena with the Devils.

They should MOVE.

It is disgraceful that they draw diddly in the NYC market
Even when they WERE good & going to the finals- they
drew poorly.

The real estate market fell apart on Ratner. Even if he builds the stadium and adjacent complex he won't be able to sell the luxury condos that were going to make this deal a moneymaker for him. In addition, fewer companies will compete for rental of the new space. In essence, he's screwed.

The Nets will not be sold. The stadium will not be built. The team will not be good.

Toast, toast, toast.

Should have sold back in 2001 when the team was really good and worth something.

When the going gets tough just sell the team

The Nets used to play in Nassau Coliseum back when they were the New York Nets. I know they want to play in City limits but now that the Brooklyn arena doesn't look like it's going to happen they should go after the Islanders and share the Coliseum.

Maybe the two teams in the one arena might be enough to get Nassau county and the State of New York interested in building a new sports complex out there in Hempstead. Maybe you could also convince Hofstra, and even St. John's to play some games there.

Yo Dolan...whats good... step up and buy the Nets... we can use that as test environment...

would be nice to have them move to new york. give some hope to the depressed new york fans

r u kidd-en! i heard that the russians want to buy them and that a middleeastern group wants to
