Newark mayor pushes for Nets
Cory Booker
Newark Mayor Cory Booker officially wants the Nets to move to Newark. "The Nets were made for Newark," he said. "It's the comeback city. And I think the Nets will be the comeback team in the NBA, and they should do it here."

Ratner has maintained that the Nets will move from the Meadowlands to Downtown Brooklyn, not Newark.

New Jersey is not good for anything. I've been there once.
