    It's no secret that Nets owner Bruce Ratner has a jones for Brooklyn, but the recent lease extension that could keep the team at the Meadowlands through the 2012-13 season also allows the Nets to move to Queens without paying a penalty.

    Ratner spokesman Barry Baum declined to tell The Score why Queens is mentioned in the lease extension.

    "We are currently in the public approval process for Atlantic Yards and as we have repeatedly said our plan is to move the Nets to Brooklyn in time for the '09-10 season," Nets CEO Brett Yormark said in a statement released by the team.

    Of course, NYC2012 said the same thing about the West Side Stadium right before it unveiled plans for a Queens Olympic stadium, and Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn spokesman Daniel Goldstein speculates that Ratner is making contingency plans in case his controversial $4.2 billion Atlantic Yards project eventually meets the same fate as the Jets' proposed field. One possible location might be the Sunnyside railyard - City Councilman Eric Gioia has long advocated development over the MTA's railyard. Another future home for the Nets, New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority spokesman Bernard Spigner says, could be . . . New Jersey. "We've told the Nets umpteen times if things don't work out, you're always welcome here," Spigner says. </div>

    It should be in QUeens. Brooklyn is more historical. Queens is better set up for heavy traffic and has more modern areas.
