Posted by Sabrina B. @gametimegirl The slim hope the Nets had of Deron Williams signing a contract extension has been dashed completely. Williams’ agent said his client will play out this season and become a free agent next summer.

Posted by Sabrina B. @gametimegirl Besiktas retired Deron Williams’ No. 8 jersey as part of a farewell ceremony prior to Tuesday’s game. Williams played about a month-and-a-half with the Turkish League after signing a contract with Besiktas in July. But with the 149-day NBA lockout over and training camp slated to begin on Dec. 9, Williams will be returning to New Jersey and rejoining the Nets for the start of the shortened 2011-12 season.

If the lockout ever ends Deron Williams may not decide to stay with the New Jersey to soon to be Brooklyn Nets. Â Williams is currently in Turkey playing for Besiktas. Â His contract includes an NBA opt-out clause should the season resume. Â His contract with the Nets also includes an opt-out after the 2011-12 season. Â Williams seems unsure about his future plans.

After the lockout negotiations went downhill last night, many of the players had harsh reactions. Â One of them was Deron Williams. Â Since negotiations aren’t working many of the players are now seriously considering decertification. Â The problem with decertification is it takes months to go through court litigation fighting anti-trust laws. Â According to Williams he was ready to sign a petition to decertify way back in July, which would have been smarter. Â Read what else he had to say after the jump. @Shay_Marie x @gametimegirl
