There’s still a salary cap, so this isn’t quite the Yankees vs. the Red Sox, but the Nets’ move to Brooklyn — and the big-dollar player salary commitments that have come with it — has marked their entry into what could become an ongoing arms race with the New York Knicks.

“Things aren’t getting any easier out there,” Knicks center Tyson Chandler said before Team USA practice Tuesday. “Teams are loading up. Everybody is chasing it, everybody wants to win now.”

“It’s the way you’ve got to go now to compete with Miami,” Nets point guard and Team USA member Deron Williams said Monday.
