Around SBN: Blake Griffin Slam Dunks: NBA Jam Style

If halftime hits around 9 p.m. Wednesday, you might want to switch from YES to Bloomberg News to catch Bruce Ratner talk about progress at the Barclays Center.

Ratner, who is Barclays Center developer and majority owner, will be a guest on the Bloomberg sports business show, "Sportfolio."

I’ll pass. Bruce Ratner is the worst thing to ever happen to Nets basketball.

the way to think about Ratner

is that he always overextended himself on the Nets and Barclays Center. Never had good back-up plans. He didn’t anticipate a lot of things and then tried to compensate with cost-cutting, back tracking.

Personally, I blame Goldstein more than anyone. He fought for a principle, then got paid for it. He did everything he could to slow the arena, make it more expensive…and in the end, he ultimately failed.

Also, Ratner didn't have a CLUE about basketball

Still riding that myth

For the last time, Mr Winderm, Goldstein wasn’t the reason for any setbacks. They would have happened reguardless of the outcome, and the same for the costs. As usual, you continue to make him your personal scapegoat even if there was no proof. BTW, he is still actively fighting against the project going any further right now. Just yesterday, he was taking a Q & A session over at Luna Stage over at West Orange with one of the directors, and that was once again another missed oppurtunity you had to speak to him. Until you can actually prove that he was all in it for the money, I will take whatever you say about him as slander. When I mean proof, I mean that is has to be something out of his own mouth, and not by someone claiming it. Last time I checked, Goldstein can speak for himself, so he doesn’t need anyone speaking for him. I am sure he will he will like to sit down and talk to you, but the problem is will you even bother to talk to him in person or just shy away from him again? One major thing, this was never about wanting to own an NBA team or even care about the fans, it was about wanting more land, but he needed something like the Nets to be his Trojan Horse to help impress those who mattered the most for it.

Can he answer this?

Here is what Oder had to say about the concern of the lack of an Independent Compliance Monitor that was supposed to be there, but never was at all.
