Alan Hahn of Newsday doesn't think this week's news is all that bad. In fact, he writes the Nets could reap profits previously unimagined in Brooklyn. Quoting the Forbes editor who ranks franchises by value, Hahn says the value of the Brooklyn "brand" alone will increase the value of the Nets. But the biggest bonanza will be the revenues from Barclays Center, all of which they will control. Not everyone agrees.
