This article from Grantland's Rembert Browne truly enlightened me to why this move is such a big deal. The Nets have just moved up to #1 atop my league pass teams this season.

Quote:

This feels wrong to type, but if the Dodgers leaving was Plessy v. Ferguson, then the Nets arriving is Brown v. Board of Education. Yes, that sounds ridiculous, but this is the way the Nets are psychologically positioning themselves. Not as heroes; they're a wronged underdog finally getting a second chance. It's redemption.

Quote:

When the deal was done and it was time for Brooklyn to formally meet its new backcourt, it was cause for a celebration not very different from what transpired in Miami two years ago. But instead of a glitzy venue, the Nets party took place on the steps of Brooklyn's Borough Hall. Instead of jerseys, Joe and Deron wore suits. And instead of promising "at least" seven championships, followed by explosions, Joe thanked the borough for welcoming him and his family.

Let's do this.

They're going to be a fun team to watch. One of the non-Laker teams I'll be rooting for to do well.

Time for Avery to get seriously serious, even if it costs him his job.
