In a move that's got basketball fans buzzing, New Jersey's newly-minted governor has expressed interest in luring the Brooklyn Nets back to the Garden State. However, sources close to the negotiations suggest that the governor's ambitious plan may be nothing more than a pipe dream - at least for the time being. The Nets have been based in Brooklyn since 2012, and their current lease at the Barclays Center is set to run through 2026. With the team's owner, Joe Tsai, having invested heavily in the Brooklyn market, it remains to be seen whether the Nets will be willing to make the move back to New Jersey anytime soon. As the governor's proposal gains traction, one thing is certain: the future of the Nets in the Garden State is far from settled.
New Jersey’s new governor said she wants to bring the Nets back to the Garden State. But don’t hold your breath. It’s not happening anytime soon.
