Don't be so sure LeBron is coming
The Newark Star-Ledger
By Steve Politi
The Nets have a plan, and apparently it goes beyond short-term oblivion. They are going to do everything possible to position themselves for the free-agent class of 2010 in hopes of landing the best player in basketball. They want to build a kingdom in Brooklyn and give King James the throne.
That is...
IF ... the new arena is actually completed. Owner Bruce Ratner keeps winning his legal battles, but there still remains the small matter of finding $1 billion to build the thing in this difficult economic market. The Nets might want to have a few girders in the ground before they start making those LeBron jerseys.
