Hooray! Perennial losers New Jersey Nets will be breaking ground with Barclay Center and saying hello to Brooklyn in 2011. Jay-Z helped orchestrate the deal after pledging bottles of Ace of Spades constructed in the shape of Beyonce.

Says Nets’ CEO, Brett Yormark: “It will happen,” Yormark said in an interview for Bloomberg Television’s “For the Record.” “We’ll be there for the ‘11-12 season. We’ve pre-sold 20 percent of our suites. We’ve got eight of our 14 founding partnerships already completely signed. Next week, we’ll announce our ninth.”

Hmmm, Devin Harris doesn’t look too bad next to LeBron James. Just saying.
