Yormark Says Nets To Move Team HQ to Brooklyn "Late Next Spring"

PrintIn a tweet late Wednesday, Brett Yormark said Nets executive offices will move to Brooklyn "late next spring" and that he had "Just finished looking at office space in brooklyn for the nets". The team will likely wait until after the season --and playoffs-- before relocating. Barclays Center opens on September 28, 2012.
A spokesman said Yormark visited a site in Brooklyn Heights, adding he's looking at several but wouldn't speak to specifics. Bruce Ratner's buildings are likely high on Yormark's list. Across the street from Barclays is Atlantic Terminal Office Complex, a 10-story property. Ratner also controls MetroTech, a billion dollar complex a mile away, and One Pierrepont Plaza, his first office building, in Brooklyn Heights.
Originally, team offices were to be at Barclays Center but when the arena was downsized in 2009, office space was jettisoned. Billy King and Avery Johnson will have small offices in the Nets locker room area. Moving the Nets offices to Brooklyn will presumably mean moving Nets' $75 million payroll, too. One of the big selling points of the Brooklyn move was the tax benefits New York state and city would garner. Currently, the Nets offices are in East Rutherford, NJ.

WHERE BROOKLYN AT?!
"Some things you just can't question. Like you can't question why two plus two is four. So don't question it, don't try to look it up. I don't know who made it, all I know is it was put in my head that two plus two is four. So certain things happen. Why does it rain? Why am I so sexy? I don't know." - Shaquille O'Neal

If Carmelo Anthony can't play basketball for the Russian
he finds a way of playing with one of Proky’s friends (Abramovich’s) toys in my homeland of Croatia. Not thrilled he is enjoying himself where I will be next week. I’ll make sure Bojan and I throw rocks at it if we see them .

At least Melo’s paying top dollar to rent it for the time being instead of using it for free as a perk for playing for the Nets ;) That makes me feel better.

Is that a window I see?

Dwight Howard tweets that he isn’t going to los angeles.
Hmm…wonder where he’ll go
How was it that this went by so quickly.

OT: Beasley caught with 16+ grams of weed in his car
plus speeding. Do you think Kahn would trade him now? And do you think the Nets want this type of player? I know he can score and offensively gifted. But I really think Mikhail, Killer Bs and Avery like high character guys.
no thanks
Beasley can play, but he gets himself into too much trouble

Slightly OT but...
Are the Nets offices and practice facilities inside the sports complex? Or somewhere else in East Rutherford?
Opulence, I has it.
It's not
I have been to their practice facility once, and it’s not located there. It was further along the the Murray Hill Pkwy. Most NBA teams do not hold practices in their own arenas, they reserve those for the visiting teams to do their practices there instead. On a side note, I know that the Knicks use Purchase College for their practices, and that might be the case for the Liberty as well.
Thanks for the info, Tal!
I knew it wasn’t in the arena itself, but was wondering if they were still inside the complex ala the old NY Giants bubble. Anyways, when did you see them practice?
Opulence, I has it.
