If I was Williams I'd be pissed, because he's leaving a good situation for a mediocre one. The only bright spot on the Nets is Lopez and he's pretty much peaked as a player. At least Utah has more depth and better overall talent. Although living in Utah probably isn't too high on his list.Comment

At least those Terrance Williams jerseys won't go to waste.

Utah's not in a good situation, they're in a horrible one. With Sloan out, the team was spiraling downward.
Lopez hasn't peaked. Just watch, with a star point he'll get better.
And depth? Utah had 2 good players, 2 old players starting, and Okur as a backup. That's it. Cap wise they're in a bad way.Comment

im sure when the Nets move to brooklyn they will be able to draw players better than in Jersey. Here in Brooklyn is pretty much all about basketball and i know so many people cant wait for them to be here. So im sure if the Nets are good here they will become like gods.
As for me i will stay a Knicks fan but it is nice to have a basketball Arena not to far away and in the same borough.Comment

The last part of your post is why the Nets will have trouble drawing big time players. They will always be the cities second team.im sure when the Nets move to brooklyn they will be able to draw players better than in Jersey.

Only with people who grew up as Knicks fans. But a ton of people move to Brooklyn every year now. There could be new fans from that base, provided they don't already have allegiances to another team (ie me with the Hawks or whatever). Plus the future generations of children who grow up in the borough will grow up with the team in town. It won't be such an automatic "I like the Knicks" type of deal for them because they'll have another option. Brooklyn has its own distinct identity and Brooklynites have a bit of a complex when it comes to Manhattan (which played a huge role in the Dodgers/Yankees rivalry of old). I think that the team could gain an edginess or cool factor if handled properly. These days there are so many counter-culture and alternative types living in Brooklyn, that being the "other" NY team could actually be a selling point. (Changing the name to something less retarded wouldn't hurt either.)
I'm still always going to be a Hawks fan, but I will definitely attend a ton of Nets games since it'll literally be down the street from me. It takes me 30 minutes to get to MSG by train, while the Barclays Center will be five minutes away. They won't get my fanhood, but they'll definitely be getting my NBA-viewing dollars just on sheer convenience alone.

Maybe or maybe most of the NBA is like CP3 and laughing at the Jazz and Nets knowing Williams won't stay with the Nets long term and while the Jazz got a few players back they will really miss Deron.
The theory you put forth won't happen for a decade maybe more. Williams won't be staying with the Nets longer than he has to.Comment
