Atlantic Yards breaks ground: Nets are the heartbreak kids
The Star-Ledger, Editorial
he bulldozers are scraping the earth at Atlantic Yards, and it appears the Nets’ long-doubted relocation to Brooklyn is all but official. Until the divorce is final, they’ll hang around for two more years at the Prudential Center in Newark, and then they’ll be gone.
You’d think it would be easy to say goodbye to a team with fewer victories than Congressional Republicans. But chances are the Nets are going to get good and sexy before they leave — like the spouse who loses the weight, gets the makeover, then runs off with, well, a Russian millionaire.
Actually, that's billionaire.
We feel a heartbreak coming on.
