Nets official to Record: Brooklyn move won't happen
Atlantic Yards Report
Is Atlantic Yards imploding like the stock market, with widespread panic taking hold? Norman Oder covers the Bergen Record's report today that a Nets insider "is telling people that the move to Brooklyn will never, ever happen.
The leaks coming out of the basketball firmament just keep coming. Ian O'Connor, a columnist for the Bergen Record, writes that the Nets will stay in New Jersey, quoting Gov. Jon Corzine and finding a team official:
One longtime Nets’ official, a man who’s made big management decisions in the past, is telling people that the move to Brooklyn will never, ever happen. "Bruce just won’t end up with the money to do it," the official said. "Forget it."
Here's the original story:
Bergen Record, O'Connor: Can fan’s broken heart be mended?
Governor Corzine approached Frank Capece at a Sunday breakfast for Union County Democrats and began prepping for surgery on the fan’s broken heart.
"You know, I think we’ll be able to keep the Nets," Corzine told Capece. "We’ve really got a shot to get it done."
