As he just announced on Twitter, @DeronWilliams chooses five-year, $100M deal with Nets over four-year, $75M deal w/hometown Mavericks

Dat $25 mil extra.

Deron
Joe J
G Wallace
Ilyasova
Lopez

Not bad, honestly.

 

[Branduil]

Dat $25 mil extra.

Deron
Joe J
G Wallace
Ilyasova
Lopez

Not bad, honestly.

That team wins nothing.

 

[thekad]

So another team just leapfrogged the Knicks in the Eastern Conference.

 

[StickSoldier]

I'm not even really that upset about Dwill not coming, but now I'm afraid with what path the franchise is going to take.

 

[reilo]

Dat $25 mil extra.

Deron
Joe J
G Wallace
Ilyasova
Lopez

Not bad, honestly.

Until you look at the contract situation. They better hope that the squad can win, because that's it for the next four years.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

Jason Kidd "future".

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Deron doesn't care about winning confirmed.

Enjoy your annual first-round exits, loser.

welcome back brandy
pamprin and tampons in the back.

[charsace]

Knicks better re-sign Lin. Dude will be healthy now that he has had the bad knee worked on.

 

[jobber]

Jason Kidd should take his talents to south beach

 

[diehard]

hey, me and "insider" Chris Broussard have the same sources!

 

[balddemon]

deron williams picked brooklyn (5/100) over dallas (4/75)

As he just announced on Twitter, @DeronWilliams chooses five-year, $100M deal with Nets over four-year, $75M deal w/hometown Mavericks

 

[Cloudy]

Wow this is looking like a disaster for the Mavs

 

[StickSoldier]

Damn Jason Kidd, what the fuck were you doing the whole time you were up there? But yeah, Dwill was definitely lying about winning being his main priority. Now he gets to play with Joe Johnson as his second best player for the next 5 years lol.

 

[Branduil]

Wow this is looking like a disaster for the Mavs

On the other hand at least we'll always have a title. Good luck getting one of those with Joe Johnson, Brook Lopez, and Gerald Wallace.

 

[Brinbe]

Well, they'll be 2nd-round good (neohawks future), but not sure they're a contender, and even their window's questionable depending on how Johnson/Wallace hold up.

Also, that 25 mil is exactly why the Magic held all the cards with Dwight... like he's gonna fucking leave that money on the table.

 

[jordan0386]

He took a little less. Good for him.

 

[reilo]

just got this text from Deron Williams: "staying in Brooklyn.''

lmao

Deron
Joe J
G Wallace
Ilyasova
Lopez

Not bad, honestly.

Marshawn Brooks and Gerald Green also. I like that team

 

[thekad]

They're not a contender. Not enough defense and their offense isn't good enough to make up for it.

 

[diehard]

lmao

https://twitter.com/Chris_Broussard/status/220295775236788224

this dude is such a clown

 

[SUPREME1]

So what is more likely to happen?


1. Dwight pouts and cries until Orlando gives in and trades him to NJ/BK. Orlando receives Lopez, Kardashian, more filler and shit picks.

2. Orlando doesn't give a shit about what Dwight wants, and/or simply prefers a package of Bynum, MWP and shit picks.



Yeah, Dwight might want to head to NJ/BK even more now that Deron is officially staying on... but how much leverage does he have left (if any)?

 

[jobber]

Marshawn Brooks and Gerald Green also. I like that team

not with dat coach!

 

[Syphon Filter]

Damn Jason Kidd, what the fuck were you doing the whole time you were up there? But yeah, Dwill was definitely lying about winning being his main priority. Now he gets to play with Joe Johnson as his second best player for the next 5 years lol.

strange should have went to the mavs to play with clutchvitzki.

 

[DCX]

Hey guys did we resign Tony Douglas yet?

Is he going to start if Lin leaves?q

Nah..we would sign Failton/Kidd or other..

DCX

it seems obvious to me that Orlando begged him to opt in to give them leverage on a trade

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA

Had the Nets lost out on Deron Williams, they were prepared to make a run at Goran Dragic with a $9 million a year offer, sources tell Y!

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

After taxes and cost of living differences, I doubt the difference is anywhere close to 25 million. But is there really that much greater a chance of winning in Dallas? If they get Dwight, they'll have Williams, Dwight, Johnson, and Wallace. Not a bad team at all. Much better than DWill, Dirk, the ghost of Jason Kidd, Marion, and whatever crap they put on the roster after that. I think he made the right decision financially and in terms of chances of winning.

Lol Mavericks are screwed. Thank god i have my Rangers.

Nets can't get Dwight.

 

[Cloudy]

IMO the current Nets roster is better and younger than the Mavs w/o JET. They actually have a big and some impact swing men

What if that text from Deron was actually Twitter texting Broussard?

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Nets can't get Dwight.

Sure they can. We're in an offseason where the Hawks moved Joe Johnson's contract. Never say never.

 

[SUPREME1]

Nets can't get Dwight.

How about next year if he decides to test FA? As in, he's traded to the _____ and then he decides he still wants to play with Deron. Would teh Nets have enough cap space to sign him outright?


Please answer this the way I want you to answer it. Brandy pls.

 

[Branduil]

Sure they can. We're in an offseason where the Hawks moved Joe Johnson's contract. Never say never.

They would hit the hard cap if they tried to trade for Dwight.

Johnson/Wallace/Lopez < Dirk.

If they can get Howard, that'd be a different story.

 

[benjipwns]

Is he going to take $3 million a year?

 

[AgentChris]

So, the Mavs wasted a year of Dirk for nothing... LOL

I 100% guarantee that J-Lin will get a long term deal with the New York Knicks. MSG stock prices need him.

"The whole twitter knew 20 mins. ago!"

D.Anderson sounding old. The whole twitter... lol.

 

[Bowser]

Bill Simmons
Brooklyn's master plan is looking great. Now they just need Orlando to accept 17 cents on the dollar for Dwight Howard and they're homefree.

lol

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Johnson/Wallace/Lopez < Dirk.

If they can get Howard, that'd be a different story.

Just imagine that in your head as we win 20 games next season.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

Deron doesn't care about winning confirmed.

Enjoy your annual first-round exits, loser.

Remember when Brandi told us that the Mavs were tanking last year to clearly free up space for Triple D (Dirk,Deron,Dwight) down in Big D?

 

[Dominican Power]

So, the Mavs wasted a year of Dirk for nothing... LOL

I 100% guarantee that J-Lin will get a long term deal with the New York Knicks. MSG stock prices need him.

MSG sells with or without Lin, clown.

 

[pilonv1]

I hope Brandy likes Dragic.

me am prophet total

 

[Glorified G]

That team wins the Atlantic Division.

fixed.

 

[cashman]

lol Deron Williams. New jersey will still be mediocre.

RT @RicBucher: As source indicated earlier, Kidd won't join Deron with Nets. Deciding between Mavs and Knicks
