<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>It’s not quite war between the New York area’s two NBA teams, but it sure looks like one side is beefing up its operations and intelligence. Should Allan Houston decide to join the Nets, he will join a line of former Madison Square Garden employees to change sides, falling in behind executives responsible for entertainment, events planning, marketing and finance. Coming soon, a battle along Eighth Avenue in Manhattan.</div></p> Source</p>
That's awesome. I feel that the Lakers and Clippers never really took advantage of their proximity in promoting a rivalry. The fact that the Nets are twice the team the Knicks are ought to go a long way. I'm usually not a fan of relocation, but when its within the same metro area, I don't really mind. And you can't say that the team won't do better in Brooklyn. Die hard Nets fans really don't have that far to go to still see games, and the access in terms of public transport is far better.
