Nets: Brooklyn move is still Plan A
Bergen Record
by John Brennan
The Nets have not wavered from their insistence that “there is no Plan B” beyond their intention to relocate to Brooklyn.
But that hasn’t stopped them from scheduling three events in Newark this month.
The first, announced Monday, is a “Netstoberfest” celebration at the entrance plaza outside of the Prudential Center on Wednesday from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
That will be followed by an Oct. 13 preseason game against the Boston Celtics and an Oct. 21 preseason game against the Knicks, with both games being held at “The Rock.”
“We’re promoting our preseason games in Newark,” Nets spokesman Barry Baum replied when asked why the rally is being held neither in Brooklyn nor their current home of East Rutherford.
...NBA Commissioner David Stern told The Times of London on the eve of Tuesday’s preseason game in London between Chicago and Utah that his office would conduct a background check of Prokhorov that was “full and intrusive.”
“It’s very strenuous regarding financial ability, character and business dealings,” Stern said.
