Arena "Tremendous" For Recruiting
NetsDaily
Fantasy sports site NetsDaily replays another of Bruce Ratner's hollow claims:
Talking to Bloomberg's Rick Horrow, Bruce Ratner said Wednesday he believes that the Brooklyn brand and Barclays Center will be a "tremendous advantage" for the Nets in recruiting free agents in the future.
Without mentioning specifics, Ratner said, "There's a tremendous desire, generally, to play in a big market and there's already a tremendous interest by players and fans alike" in Barclays Center.
NoLandGrab: Oh, really? The wait-list of stars clamoring to play for the Nets is currently rather short, kinda like the list of "fans" interested in season tickets and the list of corporate entities interested in $500,000 Jay-Z-desigend suites.
