Deron Williams

Joe Johnson and Jarrett Jack are not untouchable. Go figure. Trade rumors are an occupational hazard in the NBA. For the Nets specifically, they’re a daily occurrence, one that recycles the same old desires day after day after day. They have too much money invested in a mediocre roster and need to part with talent [...]

It turns out the Brooklyn Nets won’t pay Deron Williams to go away. Williams has spent a turbulent four-plus years with the Nets organization, going from a recurring All-Star and staple in the best point guard conversation to an overpaid afterthought with ankles made of soggy tissue paper. The prospect of trading him has loomed [...]

A lot of criticism has been bombarding Nets’ point guard Deron Williams regarding his ability to be his old dominant self—the one who was once hailed as one of the top three point guards in the league. On Monday night, Williams came back to life with an explosion of 35 points in their game four [...]

Despite the valiant effort from Nets’ center Brook Lopez, who finished with a game-high of 31 points—his team still couldn’t notch the victory. The Celtics’ balanced attack, led by Evan Turner’s triple-double (19 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists), was more than enough to give them the 110-91 road win, which also snapped their three-game skid. [...]

New York basketball fans just cannot catch a break. The Knicks stink something awful, sort of on purpose, but kind of an accident. They have the league’s second-worst record, have stripped the roster of most impact players, remain thin on young talent, will probably shut Carmelo Anthony down after the All-Star break and are, frankly, [...]

This season, Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal told USA Today that himself and Wall are, “definitely the best backcourt in the league.” But, after his dismissal from the Warriors, former Head Coach Mark Jackson called Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry the, “greatest shooting backcourt in the history of the game.” Since then, the question of [...]

Breaking: The Brooklyn Nets are still odd. Stuck in the throes of a season that has them contending for eighth place in the Eastern Conference, the Nets find themselves in a tough situation, footing an extravagant salary and luxury-tax bill for a mediocre product. Their next move, then, is obvious: Blow stuff up. Shop Deron [...]

Sure. Mike Malone is no longer the coach of the Sacramento Kings for stylistic reasons, mainly the fact that ownership and management want the team to run fast. So, naturally, in the post-Malone era, that’s led them to targeting a trade for the Brooklyn Nets’ Deron Williams, a former All-Star with paper ankles and spongy [...]

As the 2014-2015 NBA season gets underway, everyone already wants to know how it will end. Will the San Antonio Spurs repeat? Will Cleveland finally win one? When will big market franchises in the basement (Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, New York Knicks, and the Philadelphia 76ers) return to contention? Back on top, the Spurs [...]

The NBA’s new TV deal might be bittersweet. The association announced Monday that it brokered a nine-year, $24 billion dollar media-rights pact with ESPN and Turner Sports. Terrific breakdowns replete with informed and uniformed speculation as to what this means are everywhere. Chief among any concerns, though, is the potential for another lockout. Deron Williams [...]
