Probably because at the time the Barclays Center was being designed (and then redesigned) Wang was pushing for his own building, along with a massive development complex (lookup the Lighthouse project) in Nassau County. The move to Brooklyn only came into the picture when hope of any type of development in Nassau was wiped off the map, and that didn't happen until relatively recently.
