Nets owner-builder says team grows in Brooklyn, not Newark
Newark Star-Ledger
by Maura McDermott
New Jersey State Senate President Richard Codey isn't buying the tale that the Nets will be playing in Brooklyn in 2010.
State Senate President Richard Codey said he did not believe the Brooklyn arena could open in two years, given the delays it has faced so far and the turmoil in the real estate market.
Ratner bought the team in 2004 with plans to move it to New York City.
"Four years later, we're getting a rendering?" Codey said yesterday. "It's becoming ridiculous. They're not going to be playing in Brooklyn in 2010."
