So, what’s behind the Brooklyn Nets plan to have its G League team games play six games over three months in suburban Montreal next season?
The answer is pretty simple: The Nets international marketing operation is unrelenting whether in China, France, the Philippines ... or Canada.
So, it’s not about moving to Montreal or relocating the Long Island Nets north of the border either. Sure the NBA might want to gauge whether Montreal is ready for NBA expansion — they’re on the short list — but in Brooklyn, the ambitions are more narrowly focused. They want to rule the world.
