The Nets gambled and traded for Deron Williams at the deadline last year, hoping that he would re-sign with the team when they move to Brooklyn in attempts to lure Dwight Howard. According to his agent, Williams will not re-up with the Nets. Well, that’s a change in pace. We don’t often see a guy acknowledge this so far in advance.
Williams’ agent said his client will play out this season and take his chances as a free agent. “Deron will not be signing the extension,” Jeff Schwartz told The Record this afternoon. “Based on the new rules it doesn’t make any sense for him to sign the extension. It has nothing to do with how much he likes New Jersey. Because of the rules, he’s going to play the season out and opt out of his deal.”
