New Jersey Nets

The New Jersey Devils (who share CAA with the Nets), however, have an open invitation for the Nets to move to their Newark Arena, currently under construction.

If the Nets ultimately do not move to Brooklyn, it is unknown if Ratner would continue to own the team in New Jersey or put the team up for sale, since the arena project was the main reason he bought the team.
