Nets will arrive in Brooklyn later than originally planned

Even though this news had been previously reported, some media outlets turned it into a bigger deal today, which brought out the Forest City spin machine:
The Nets intend to tip-off in Brooklyn in 2010.
"We plan to be in the Barclays Center during the 2010 calendar year," said Barry Baum, a spokesman for the NBA team that has played in New Jersey since 1977. "That could mean the latter part of the 2009-2010 season."
"It's a very exciting thing for Brooklyn" added Loren Riegelhaupt, a spokesman for developer Forest City Ratner.
NoLandGrab: So Ratner's new story is that maybe the Nets might play some of the 2009-2010 season in Brooklyn, or maybe not, but probably definitely not before 2010?
