Deron Williams has poked fun at the media and their “sources” several times and even Jason Kidd got in on the fun so you might want to take this with a grain of salt although it does seem logical. Â It’s being reported Williams will meet with both the Brooklyn Nets and the Dallas Mavericks and Jason Kidd will go wherever Deron goes. Â Read more after the jump.
Deron Williams, the most coveted player in this summer’s free-agent class, will meet with representatives from the Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks on Monday before deciding which team to sign with this July, according to a source privy to Williams’ plan.
Mavericks free-agent point guard Jason Kidd will also join whichever team Williams chooses, sources said.
Williams is spending the weekend playing golf with Kidd in New York’s Hamptons, sources say, yet one more indicator that the Nets have at least a fighting chance to keep Williams and add Kidd sometime after free agency begins Sunday.
Kidd, who has indicated that he hopes to serve as a backup to Williams either in Brooklyn or Dallas, also recently purchased a home in East Hampton, a source close to Kidd said.
Another source with business ties to both Kidd and Williams says that the two already have decided to play together for the Nets next season. However, multiple sources say Williams is still torn about his decision.
Williams has said he wants to make the decision before training camp for the U.S. men’s Olympic team begins in Las Vegas on July 7.
