Nets thinking Queens?
Field of Schemes gives the Brooklyn Papers props for being the first to speculate on the meaning of the NJ Nets' lease-extention escape clause for Brooklyn and Queens.
We heard it on DealScape first.
FOS mulls over the possibilities:
Could there be a secret Plan B to relocate the Nets to Queens if Ratner's contentious Atlantic Yards plan falls through? (The Papers' Gersh Kuntzman speculates that the Sunnyside Yards near Long Island City could be an option.) Or could this just be a way of putting the heat on Brooklyn pols by making them think that they have a competitor for the Nets' affections? I'm inclined to believe the latter, but then, I'm the one who didn't believe the crazy rumors that Ratner would really try to demolish buildings and streets to move them to Brooklyn in the first place.
