I guess we'll know by the offseason where the Nets will end up - a move to Brooklyn and a rebranding as the "New York Nets" or "Brooklyn Nets" might move them up the NYC sports ladder of consciousness quite a bit. (A move to Newark might make them slightly more relevant, as they'd be within PATH access of NYC)
I can definitely see a LeBron-anchored "Brooklyn Nets" quickly surpassing the Knicks in trendiness/media attention.
