Bud Shaw's Sports Spin: Appreciating Braylon; the wrong market for LeBron?
Brooklyn enticement (allegedly) for LeBron James is delayed
The Cleveland Plain Dealer
A state appellate panel denied a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by opponents of Nets owner Bruce Ratner's plan for a 22-acre project in Brooklyn. In more practical terms, it means the Nets aren't moving to Brooklyn until at least 2011 and maybe not even then.
So perhaps now we can stop entertaining any and all rumors that say James is ready to leave Cleveland to join Jay-Z in a gleaming $950 million Brooklyn palace when his Cavs contract is up?
The facts have never been essential to the recycling of the James-to-New York story, so, nah, probably not.
NoLandGrab: "The facts have never been essential to" any part of Bruce Ratner's Nets arena plans.
