MSG Dispute an Opening for Nets?

Lost in Linsanity is the reality that two million New Yorkers (and a few in North Jersey) can't watch the Knick phenom play because of a dispute between Time Warner Cable and MSG Networks, which owns the Knicks and Rangers and broadcasts the Islanders, Devils and Sabres.
The dispute has gone one for nearly six weeks and Sports Business Journal reports even Jeremy Lin's heroics haven't moved the needle on negotiations. This, suggests AP, has left an opening for the Nets as they head for Brooklyn. Unfortunately, the Nets have lost six in a row while the Knicks have won five straight.
Still reports AP, "the Nets, in comparison, grow more appealing: They will move from New Jersey to Brooklyn next season, and their games air locally on the YES Network and are not affected by the MSG dispute".

If you can't get MSG and your only option is to watch the Nets
You should just watch Bravo

so if what elone says is true
would that mean that the Nets are in the drivers seat and don’t have to give up much such as: brooks, brook, hump, picks, farmar and other stuff? and instead just brook, farmar picks, and stuff from another team?

OOPS!!! I forgot. Knicks wont have enough money to sign him back. my bad.
hahahahahahahahahaha
carmelo anthony is the savior of the knicks

eh
we also didn’t think that the Knicks could get Tyson Chandler and they did.
I know we hate them but we need to at least be fair: they handle business. Nets only talk about handling business.

love the sarcastic praise for Johan
maybe some “Johan why dont you shoot threes? you got the range and the stroke is second to ray allent” or “You should be point-center your handles make Magic look like Jameer Nelson”
The realist keepin it real amongst the surrealists

i feel bad for Petro
he is giving it his all everynight and yea he makes dumb mistakes and he isn’t the best center in the game, but he plays with heart and he takes advantage of what he has, but yet us as fans ridicule him and throw him under the bus…i just wonder what he feels like after he makes his mistakes and hears the ridicule.just a thought
ITS A VVVVVVVVVVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEE
He's just not a very good basketball player
I dont blame him that much, because he was never a good player, unlike Shawne Williams and Outlaw who were actually decent before they got paid

No class.
Everyone is an internet tough guy. I understand he’s a public figure and gets payed very well to play bball so he is open to public criticism, but ripping someone on twitter is just low class. I wish our fans didn’t treat our players like that.
Talking on NetsDaily is one thing but there is no benefit when they have to read it on twitter.
correction
he isn’t the best (146) centers in the game
How is this an opening for the Nets?
"LeBron puts up great numbers, can't close w/o DWade. LeBricked 3 late 3s when shouldve been driving, getting to line. What else new?"
Yet casual basketball fans think he is a God, and would exhaust their entire squads to land him...
if they get Howard by Month's end
it’s an opening. Otherwise, no one is going to resort to watching the crap that Prokhorov and King have marched out onto the court regardless of Knick games not being available.

Who are these sports watchers that all of a sudden stop watching or liking a sport/team if they cant view it for a period of time.
All I heard during the lockout is that the NBA will lose viewers. Serenity now. Knicks fans will always be Knicks fans. People CAN watch 2 teams!

I don't see many fans converting
Nets will have to start from scratch, having Dwight and Deron will be a good start.

I think a majority of “fans” watch all the teams. We are die hards, that’s a totally different breed. Its hard to see from the eyes of a normal fan. Whatever game is on TV is the one they will watch if they feel like turning on the TV to watch some basketball. All the Nets need to do is not be involved in a blowout and people will watch.

Most fans will watch good basketball
the spurs, celtics, Thunders, Bulls, Heats, Lakers etc
The Nets need Howard and 4 other NBA calibre players to reach there
You got it.
And if the Nets and Knicks are both playing well, it will just be more good basketball to be watched by all.

Nets are barely mentioned in the article.
Story is more about the dolans holding out for a premium for a premium product. Questionable whether they deserve a premium but they have moved more in that direction than the nets since the Lebron summer.
The nets product certainly does not demand any premium. It’s an afterthought on the Yankees channel. The Brooklyn thing might become an even bigger joke if this is the product they try to market there next year.
