Assuming the Nets move to Brooklyn in 2010, what will they be called? I imagine it will start with "Brooklyn" to differentiate itself from the New York Knicks. The Brooklyn Nets doesn't really have a nice ring to it. What would you name the team?

Brooklyn Heights (it's a pun!)
Brooklyn Dodgers (this would be sacrilege to the oldies)
Brooklyn Lebrons
Brooklyn Kosher Pickles
Brooklyn Matzah Ballers

How about the Brooklyn LeBrons.  That might be the final straw in getting him to go there.

They picked the name to rhyme with the other  two 2nd sports teams in NY (Mets, Jets)

Since they are 1 of the 4 ABA teams they should keep their identity and stay with the Nets.  I think it's great that Brooklyn is getting a team after all these years.

Weird isn't it. 

How many New York teams do people really like?

Maybe its Jay Z,  Maybe its the fact that its so old School to have a team in Brooklyn. 

I didn't care when Toronto came about, didn't care when Vancover appeared or when they moved to Memphis.

Didn't care when the Hornets departed Charlotte or when the Bobcats filled that void.

But something about a team going to Brooklyn.  I think its great! 

Who knows, maybe I just think Jay Z is cool.

I think the Brooklyn Nets sounds pretty awesome.

I think it's about time for the fourth largest city in America to have a team named for it.

I know Brooklyn is a borough of NYC but with 2.5 million people living there I think it appropriate for them to have a team that represents just them.

The Brooklyn Nets. I like it.
