In the short term, it improves them and even if Williams doesn't re-sign, it shows other potential free agents that NJ is serious about turning around and if they are able to keep him, he's a huge drawing card, along with a super-rich owner and a new arena. I didn't mention the move to NY because actually, where they are now is as close to Manhattan as Brooklyn is and as easy to get to, if not easier.
Newark isn't a fraction of the tourist/rich person destination that Brooklyn is, and you're completely wrong about the distance. If the arena is ever built, it's 10 minutes from the city, maximum. You're not getting from NYC to Newark in 10 minutes unless you take an airplane.
