haha.
Anyways, I heard from a guy on another site that the state of new jersey owns the rights to the 'nets' name and when they move to Brooklyn the name will have to be changed. He didn't offer any sources and after a not so diligent search I found nothing so I thought I post here. I know the old ABA team in NY was called the nets so it seems unlikely to me to be true but you guys would know best.
Also It would seem to me whoever owned the team would own the name if a name could even be owned. After all how many wildcats, panthers, kings, ect are there. But then again the 'nets' is more of a unique name than all of those.
And for what its worth he claims the name will be th Knights, has anyone else heard of this? If this is the case it would be tragic to all basketball fans as the nets is one of the best names ever for a team in my opinion.
