I understand that the contract stipulates that Brooklyn must be renamed Jersey and/or cede to New Jersey.

Jake if you had lived in Brooklyn a really long time you wouldn't allow your fine associates to refer to UTB as DUMBO.

Wow. An entire borough pinning its hopes on a basketball team poached from New Jersey. All they need now is a monorail... Did RATner sell Markowitz a bridge? RATner gets rich, local residents get screwed, and the city gets stuck with the tab. Meet the most hated man in NJ.

Hey I got kicked out of a room at 41st and 8th due to eminent domain (courtesy New York Times), and I'll be the first to admit that me being kicked out was a good thing for the better of the city.

Brooklyn Gets the Nets. Residents Get the Boot. Eminent Domain at its finest.
