Brooklyn 2012--or 2014? Nets sign two-year lease for Prudential Center in Newark, with option to renew
Atlantic Yards Report
The timetable for the Nets' planned--although not finalized--move to Brooklyn has most recently been stated as the 2012-13 season, and a long-rumored new lease in Newark anticipates that timetable as well.
However, given the history of delays, and the potential for additional snags, the new lease offers two more years in Newark.
...Shifting the goalposts
Remember, the team was originally supposed to move in 2006; when the project was approved in 2006, the year became 2009. Nets CEO Brett Yormark moved the goalposts so often than in January 2009 I posted a remix of his statements.
As of last September, Bruce Ratner predicted the move would come in the "11-12 season."
NoLandGrab: We all know Bruce Ratner is a man of his word, right?
