I think either 2010 or 2011.

They're going to become the Brooklyn Nets.

Yeah I heard the stadium is not gonna be open at the start of the 2010-2011 season but they will probably move in at some point during that season.

It kinda sucks.. I live in NY (a stones throw away from the verezanno bridge to brooklyn) but I'd still rather it be in NJ. I got to NJ in 20-25 minutes no traffic, now gonna be sitting in traffic forever in the Flatbush area and on the Belt Pkwy.

I think the reason it's taking so long are these lawsuits. Now they're not even being looked at by the court, so they're going to start breaking ground sooner or later.
