 No Land Grab: NJ Nets Archives
The Nets are counting on their relocation to Brooklyn to reverse their mounting losses, but find themselves facing a saturated naming-rights market for their planned new arena, a deal seen as a key revenue stream for owner Bruce Ratner, who paid $300 million in 2004 for the franchise.
Nets officials did not return calls, but that's not the pecking order of choice for Ratner and his Forest City Enterprises, the publicly traded real estate company that owns about 21 percent of the team and is responsible for 31 percent of the operating losses.
Nets owner Bruce Ratner is probably trying to see if he can get his team into Brooklyn as soon as possible to capitalize on the hoops ennui that has gripped local fans who haven't decamped for other teams and is set to continue into the next decade.
