Nets On Verge Of Getting Commitment From Deron



And the Mavericks -- amid what sources close to the process describe as mounting evidence to suggest that the Nets are on the verge of clinching Deron Williams' commitment to re-sign with them and continue his career in Brooklyn -- are likewise hot after Nash. Nash himself has acknowledged hearing and reading about a lucrative one-year offer to come back to Texas to reunite with close friend Dirk Nowitzki after his emotional departure eight years ago in the event that the Mavericks lose out in the Williams sweepstakes. But sources told ESPN.com this week that the Mavs are prepared to make it a two-year pitch to try to beat out the competition to clinch Nash's return.

Kidd can still ball. He posted better numbers than Sessions did in the playoffs

Dirk Optimistic About Chance Of Landing Deron

The Mavericks, like their fans, will spend the next 48 hour “hoping and praying” on the free-agent front, Dirk Nowitzki said this morning.

Nowitzki was leading an array of sports celebrities through batting practice at Dr Pepper BallPark in Frisco this morning and the subject quickly came to Deron Williams and the Mavericks’ pursuit of the NBA’s No. 1 free agent this summer.

Nowitzki had good news.

“I think he’s still undecided,” Nowitzki said. “He honestly is. I thought he might make a decision quick and get it out of the way. But I really think he’s torn. He’s got two great owners, two great organizations (to decide from). And obviously, I think Jersey, with the move to Brooklyn is even more appealing (than before).

“So I think he’s got two clubs and it’s a tough decision. We’re going to keep recruiting and hopefully we’ll get some good news this week. It’ll be very special for the city.”

Nowitzki said he already has talked to Williams, as players are allowed to converse among themselves although team management members are not allowed to do start their recruiting of free agents until 11:01 p.m., Dallas time, Saturday night.

“Obviously, I know him,” Nowitzki said. “We’ve played in multiple All-Star games together. We can talk amongst players. But I don’t feel I need to pitch much. He knows the organization. He knows what we have here. He knows what the city’s like. He grew up here. I think he knows what he has here.

“I told him I got a little something in the tank, too, for two more years. We’ll see what happens.”

Asked if he thought Williams eventually will see the light and bring his talents to north Texas, Nowitzki said: “We’d love that, for sure.’’

That's not happening. Brooklyn has nothing to offer Orlando. Brook Lopez is a restricted free agent and can't be traded for a couple of months. Even if he could Lopez + fillers for Dwight is a pretty weak offer.
