Looking at LeBron James' free agency options, why the heck would
he want to come to Jersey?  For one, the team just got out of
their arena that existed on a swamp, which basically describes
what people think of when they think of New Jersey (unfairly
so).  The Nets won 12 games in 2009-2010. If it were me, the
Nets' situation wouldn't seem very appealing, and that's coming
from a Nets fan.  But here's the thing that's keeping the New
Jersey Nets in the hunt—mystique.  The Nets have a new Russian
owner, music mogul Jay-Z, and two great players in Devin Harris
and Brook Lopez. On top of that, they just drafted Derrick
Favors and Damion James.  Doesn't sound like a 12-win team, does
it?  Plus, the Nets are moving to Newark this season (not that
Newark's all that enticing), but the Nets have the aura of
Brooklyn in the future.
