The New Jersey Nets' move to Brooklyn is at least two years away, but new owner Mikhail Prokhorov was apparently serious when he said at his introductory news conference in May that he thinks he can "turn Knicks fans into Nets fans."
Ramping up tensions between the teams with free agency looming, Prokhorov has purchased billboard space near Madison Square Garden that will display a massive image of the Russian billionaire and Nets minority owner Jay-Z, with completion scheduled just before the start of free agency.
The 222-by-95-foot billboard sporting a Nets logo will picture Jay-Z and Prokhorov side-by-side under the heading, "The Blueprint For Greatness." The signage is strategically placed, according to sources with knowledge of the project, within the sight line of the Knicks' offices at the corner of 34th and 8th.

Devin Harris played like Diana Harris late last year.
Courtney Lee is horrible.
I dont think Yi will last another week, so he's gone now that Favors is here..
I think they looking at Terrence Williams to start at the 2.
They got a bunch of contracts they need to dump, Simmons and Battie and Hassell.
Its gonna be a mission to get that team to even compete for the 8th spot in the weak East.
Good luck Avery. -

I honestly dont know ? about Damion James, if thats his name (their other first round pick).
He wont be featured much, I dont think Avery plays rooks.
But 110% they gonna have a few big names in there, even if its not the big big names.
They gotta do something.
- And one more thing, get rid of that elephant Josh Boone.
That ? is a disaster.
Sean Williams was better, believe it or not. -

Sean Williams was better, believe it or not.
He played on the Texas squad with Kevin Durant, and stood for the 3 more years, and averaged a double-double.
He rebounds good, can get to the basket easily, and he can shoot the mid range J. But he needs to work on his jumpshots range, Atlanta drafted him, but traded him to NJ for the Jordan Crawford pick (which made no sense because Damian James will more than likely be way better than Marvin Williams)
Edit: James needs to work on his shot selection to, he takes some ? shots sometimes -

boone is gone too lol. Damion jones is gonna get min bc hes a great defender offenses is ok but his senior year he avg 18 and 10 not bad -
I dont give a ? about rookies drafted outside the top 20.
But I love a surprise story, so I wish D. James the best.
Look at Collison last year, who thought he would push Paul out of N.O.?
And believe me CP3 is gone. -
