Brooklyn Keeps Heart and Soul

After officially moving from New Jersey to Brooklyn, the Nets are finally moving towards the right direction of a successful franchise. New logo, new city, and a squad that is full of hunger for a championship within the coming years. After acquiring all-star point guard Deron Williams from Utah a year and a half ago, the Nets were worried that keeping him would be an issue, especially due to the poor record they had for the past two seasons. However, the 2012-2013 season is a brand new beginning in a brand new arena, Barclay’s Center, which is located on the busy Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, NY. The improved arena in the more well-known city was just a taste of things to come for Mr. Williams. Being the only true superstar on the Nets last season, general manager Billy King had his work cut out for him. While the world was expecting only Dwight Howard to be traded to the new franchise, he made a slightly less bold move before that one. He decided to take over the remaining 4 years, and $90 million of Atlanta’s Joe Johnson. The six time all-star is switching loyalties to Brooklyn as the Nets look to add another star to D-Will’s team. He is a shooting guard who can score from almost anywhere on the court and knows where to be on the court at the right time. Now, the final piece of the big three puzzle is missing. The first choice is of course none other than Orlando’s big man, Dwight Howard. He wants out of Orlando, and according to sources, he is demanding a trade to Brooklyn. That’s right, demanding. With Deron Williams, and Joe Johnson, Dwight can finally have the help he needs to win the title. His Magic lost to the Lakers in 2009, mainly due to the fact he was the only true star on the team. Now, he is one of three guys that play their part in getting many victories and forcing a deep post-season push. The Nets have a new city, arena, and if they play their cards right, a new big three that can bring them the success back from their glory days in 2002 and 2003 when they made two straight NBA finals.
