Sports Authority Chief Wants To Keep Nets in NJ.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -- New Jersey's Sports and Exposition Authority is trying to get the NBA's Nets to stay in New Jersey.

Carl Goldberg says team owner Bruce Ratner's plan to build a new arena in Brooklyn is unlikely at best.

Goldberg says he'd like to offer the Nets a stake in the Izod Center in East Rutherford to keep it there long-term. The deal would include renovations to the arena in the Meadowlands.

The suggestion comes days after Ratner said the new Brooklyn arena would not be ready until at least 2011 _ a year later than planned.

Nets chief executive Brett Yormark tells The Star-Ledger of Newark the team isn't interested in staying in New Jersey.
