"Critics had complained that equipment hadn't been secured."
Really? Did they think they were just going to say “Eh F it. The crane will hold during the storm.” I swear some people will complain till they get their way. I really hope people are out protesting the day she opens. I will stay out their all day laughing at them in my Brooklyn Nets jersey. Glad everything held up well, as I assumed it would. Be safe out their everyone. Go Nets

it's about professionalism
Bloggers think they are experts without understanding that they cannot even imagine what goes into large-scale engineering projects, that there are standards that professionals adhere to (and if they don’t they face sanctions from those who have contracted them.).

Just Delayed A Few Days....
Glad that the arena survived the storm. It will take a day or two to pump out the water, and for public transportation to get going again to bring the workers. Once construction finally began, it has gone well. But the signed original and all the copies of OUTLAWS contract were lost, so he comes off our cap and becomes a free agent. Oh if it only were true!

Quick quote from Deron:
“Definitely have been praying for everyone in Irene’s vicinity. The Northeast will be my home soon. Hope everyone is ok.”
Nice. :)

He's not going anywhere
To much money, potential, and assets here.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
Unless he moves his family into a large property, I wouldn't be confident he is staying.
DWill wants to remind Nets fans that he is under contract for 1-2 years.
