Klores, whose firm works on Atlantic Yards, tells NPR that Nets move is "gonna be great" (but maybe not the traffic)
Atlantic Yards Report
Dan Klores, whose eponymous p.r. firm handles communications for the Atlantic Yards project, appeared on WNYC's Leonard Lopate Show yesterday.
And then, at about 27 minutes in, Pesca brought up the Nets.
A good thing for the city?
"What about the Nets moving to Brooklyn if and when it happens," asked Pesca. "Will that be a good thing for the city?"
"Yeah," responded the Brooklyn-born Klores enthusiastically. "It's a great thing for the city. Y'know, you gotta give those guys credit. I mean, whether you're for it or against it, boy, they stood with it.
Who's they? The developer, the DKC client Klores found no opportunity to mention, that consistently extracted more government subsidies and concessions?
..."And they'll build a team--they'll build a team," he added, mindful of the meme that the Nets are well-positioned, with draft choices and cap space, to acquire better players. "I think it's gonna be great. I don't know what it's gonna do for traffic--but it's going to be great."
Yes, even Klores admits that adding more rush hour traffic to the area around Flatbush and Atlantic avenues might not be a good idea.
