The original version of this story contained the following paragraph, which was apparently deleted after Daniel Goldstein emailed in a correction:

He even chimed in on the state of the Nets, who won't know until next spring if they'll ever get a shovel in the ground for their proposed new home in Brooklyn, the opening of which has now been pushed back to 2011 at the earliest as they await the outcome of an eminent domain lawsuit filed in state court by Brooklynite Daniel Goldstein, the final holdout against being bought out of his tenant's lease in a multi-story apartment building on the proposed site of the Nets' new Atlantic Yards arena.

Daniel Goldstein is neither "the final holdout" nor a tenant.
