Atlantic Yards (Brooklyn Nets Arena) May Be 'Dead' According to Opponents

Fanhouse NBA

So what does this mean to the average NBA fan?

Well, considering the Nets were long expected to coincide the move to Brooklyn with the acquisition of LeBron James, and indeed use that as an incentive for James to build his empire in New York. With these questions plaguing the project, you have to wonder if the project will even get finished. If that's the case, landing James becomes very difficult, because if he does decide to leave Cleveland (which he may not, Cleveland fans. Rest assured, I think it's very likely he stays.), he's likely looking for a major market. And New Jersey is not nearly as attractive a location, as say, Madison Square Garden.
