Stern's Arena Updates a Mixed Bag

NBA Commissioner David Stern presents a mixed bag, but not about the Nets arena. That arena he is 100% positive is a go, as he offhandedly dismisses pending lawsuits:
In New York, where owner Bruce Ratner is getting a development built that will involve moving the Nets from New Jersey to Brooklyn, everything seems just about resolved in favor of getting the stadium finished."We got a report on Brooklyn where foundation work necessary to clear the site is in full swing and we're waiting to the end of certain lawsuits that have been decided in their favor but are subject to appeal, and as the appeal time runs out, that's likely to accelerate."

NoLandGrab: Of course, this article also refers to the arena as a "stadium" and says they are almost resolved in getting it "finished." Since getting the ARENA "started" is still in question, "finished" feels an awful lot like "Mission Accomplished."
