Mikhail Prokorov [sic] Faces Off Against the Knicks

This story bears a striking resemblance to one posted yesterday by Capital New York, though it's slightly different, as if it got run back and forth through Google Translator a couple times.
But one thing definitely got lost in translation.
It’s hard to imagine Prokhorov doesn’t believe it. He has the assets to make it possible and hasn’t stalled in beginning the process. In a first step, he moved the Nets to Brooklyn’s Atlantic Yards for the upcoming season, a geographic change that will have demographic effects.
NoLandGrab: If that's the case, either Bruce Ratner is going to put on the most spectacular high-speed construction job ever, or the Nets will be playing their home games on the Dean Street playground. A safer bet is that the Nets will be calling Newark's Prudential Center home for a couple seasons, at least.
