Yesterday, Alonzo Mourning joined teammate Jason Kidd in denouncing a possible move by the Nets to Long Island.

"I didn't come here to go to Long Island," Mourning said yesterday of the prospect of Islanders owner Charles Wang buying the team and bringing it to Long Island. "I just bought a nice house over in New Jersey. My family is just getting settled in. I understand the nature of this business. (But) I came here to play in New Jersey at the Continental Airlines Arena. I just got this system down, don't change it now."
