Brooklyn lodgers
The Daily Blahg
by Filip Bondy
The Daily News columnist would prefer that the Nets take up permanent residence in Newark.
On Thursday, the Nets finally, supposedly will break ground on their new arena in Brooklyn, after signing a two-year lease with Newark to play in the Rock until the 2012-2013 season.
It's a shame the move to Newark isn't more than an interim commitment. That North Jersey city and region probably can support a good NBA team. And I've become so inured to Bruce Ratner's false deadlines, it's hard to believe this groundbreaking will actually happen.
But I think it will, I think the arena will get built, and my position on this hasn't changed since Day 1:
The move to Brooklyn is absolutely great for the Nets. I'm just not sure it's so great for the borough.
