You are correct, that the Nets moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn, but I decided not to include short-distance moves from one city in a metro area to another city in the same metro area (i.e. San Francisco to Oakland or vice versa). The Nets played in Teaneck and Newark, New Jersey, which are both parts of the NYC metro area, so I didn't include that particular move. Thanks!
