The other thing to add is that this makes the possibility of the New York Islanders moving to Brooklyn more of a possibility. If the new "Lighthouse Project" doesnt go forward, Wang is sending that team somewhere and the Kansas City Islanders just doesnt have much of a ring to it.

As a Brooklyn native and one of 7,352 Islander fans left in the world, I am praying for this possibility. It could work-nearly every NYC subway line runs through that area and the Long Island RR does as well. Another team to anchor the venue and surrounding retail would be a plus. More likely, Wang uses it as leverage against Nassau County to get moving on an upgrade to the Mausoleum.

I like Aarons comments:
This is absolutely absurd. Nobody cares about a Russian billionaire. It's funny that you can't leave comments on Adrian Wojnarowski column about this guy, cause that's the biggest load of crap I have ever read. You know what's funny, people keep talking about Lebron and the rest of 2010 when none of them have rings except Wade, who has proven since that he can't lead a team to the championship by himself. And I guarantee putting a crappy Nets, or even Knicks jersey on any of these players isn't gonna change the fact they can't win, it just means more people may be able to watch them lose.
Did anyone else notice that someone named Michael posted the same comment, not twice but 4 times in a row???
