Is It The Brookyn, New York, New Jersey Or Newark Nets?

William Henry Jones wants the arena to come to "Downtown Brooklyn" (that should say Prospect Heights!!!!), but speculates that the Nets could also be happy near Shea Stadium:
Will somebody please get their story straight? It seems like every day I pick up the paper there is a story about the NJ Nets moving or not moving to Brooklyn. One day the story is saying that the arena will never be built and another day I read that the Barclays Center as it will be called will be open for the 2010 season.The latest stories appeared last weekend. The New York Daily news reported that the NJ Devils were interested in buying the team and moving them to Newark only to have Bruce Ratner in a guest opinion piece on Sunday deny the story and reassert that the arena would open as planned. On Monday, another article claimed that Brooklyn would never happen.
Mr. Jones will probably not be placated by Mike Lupica's comment in yesterday's Daily News:
As soon as Caring Bruce Ratner said the Nets weren't for sale and were still on their way to Brooklyn, I immediately imagined the team bus making a U-turn and heading for Newark.
