While the team remains in the same market, I do believe there should be a separate article for the New Jersey Nets. The team played in New Jersey for 35 years and carved out a significant legacy there. Also playing in a new state helps. MarcusPearl95 (talk) 23:09, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's already the History of the Brooklyn Nets article that elaborates on the history. It's not so long as to need to have the New Jersey period split out. Doing such also creates the false impression that it's a separate team. It's not. oknazevad (talk) 00:47, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There are Plenty of Instances where teams who have played in other areas for shorter tenures have separate articles, you may think it gives off a false impression, but for everyone else, it does not.MarcusPearl95 (talk) 00:59, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Are you also proposing a separate article for the New York Nets? oknazevad (talk) 01:07, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No. Umbrella concept of New York/Brooklyn Nets MarcusPearl95 (talk) 01:36, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And the New Jersey Nets are in that exact same umbrella. Hell, the New York Nets have less in common because of he decades of time separating their stints on Long Island and Brooklyn. It's all one team, and all one metro area, and doesn't need separate articles. oknazevad (talk) 03:42, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that they branded themselves as a New Jersey Nets is the big difference here. If they did what the Giants did and kept their New York branding, then I’d be more inclined to agree with you, but they chose to market themselves as a New Jersey team, which is a separate state, and therefore, entitled to its own article. They are the same team, and as with other articles, it will make that perfectly clear, that I can assure you. MarcusPearl95 (talk) 22:54, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And now they're the Brooklyn Nets, which is not the same as New York, either. Again, it's still the same metro area. They didn't even change local broadcasters. Heck, for the first few years after they opened Bar lays Center, they were still using the exact same training facility. In New Jersey. The basketball pages have been consistent with not having separate articles for teams that move within a market, even if they've changed their names. oknazevad (talk) 23:15, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's a banner that retired no.72 in honor of Notorious B.I.G., does that count? Nbagigafreak (talk) 11:56, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
