Nets sale rumors heat up
The unsourced news watch never stops, as the Newark Star-Ledger reports today (based on those ever-popular unnamed executives and state officials) that the New Jersey Nets are for sale, with two of the four suitors looking to move the team across the Hudson: New York Islanders owner Charles Wang to Long Island, Bruce Ratner to his imaginary arena in Brooklyn. Admittedly, with both team execs and elected officials cited, it's less likely to be a rumor floated to scare Newark into coughing up arena dough - but, hey, it's happened before.
