Random Notes from a Night to Remember

Nets Daily Blog

Make no mistake about it, tonight’s moves were as critical to the Nets’ future as those at the trade deadline when Jason Kidd was traded.

NoLandGrab: Even if FCR can overcome all the legal and financial barriers that have so far prevented ground breaking on the proposed Atlantic Yards development, it is extremely unlikely that an arena can be completed before 2011. But don't just take our word for it.
