    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 take his chances as a free agent. Bergen Record

    “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.” Bergen Record

    As The Record reported in today’s editions, sources with knowledge of the Nets thinking had been resigned to the fact that the chances of Williams’ signing an extension were slim. According to the new rules, Williams can get a two-year extension from the Nets for roughly $39 million that would be tacked on to the two years, $31 million he has remaining on his deal. If Williams opts out after the season, he could get five years, and about $101 million from the Nets or four years and $73 million from another team. The Nets will do everything they can to make sure Williams is with them when they open the Barclays Center in Brooklyn for the 2012-13 season.

    Nets need to get Howard or D-Will is gone next summer. They would be great together. No telling how good Howard can be if he had a great perimeter player as a compliment.

    They probably wont do it, but i would let the nets pick who they wanted off the rockets roster for williams. This is the scenerio i brought up last year with the trading of williams to the east. The rockets could start with Lowry and Scola as a base, then add in some younger players like patterson,hill,montejas or whomever. Williams is the bait for howard and nj needs young players to recoup the ones they gave away for williams.

    Agreed that the Nets need to pursue Dwight, but don't you think hearing this news hurts their chances of landing him?

    There's no way they mortgage the rest of their future on a second superstar that could cut-and-run and leave them with nothing.

    Looks like the Nets are cooked. I can't see giving D-Will $101 million next summer.

    Deron will be traded for salary cap filler and draft picks at the tradeline. Nets will tank hard with young players to get a stud in this draft.

    I think people are going overboard with this, it's pretty clear he will get a lot more money if he get a new contract at the end of the season.

    "not signing a extension with the Nets" and "not going to resign with the Nets" are not the same.
