The Nets have called the borough of Brooklyn home for 14-years now.
The former home of the Nets, IZOD Center closed it's doors in March of 2015.
So would the Nets return to their New Jersey stomping grounds?
How about Nassau Coliseum in Long Island where the Nets went to two ABA titles and clinched a berth in a third?
It provoked a lot of discussion on Nets Twitter/X.
Been saying for years that the Nets should play one preseason game at IZOD Center and one preseason game at Nassau Coliseum alternating years to start.
Low risk move for ownership to give up just one preseason game at Barclays.
It would go a long way to fans in those areas. pic.twitter.com/ovFLI9xdBv
