Deron Williams will not sign extension with Nets, agent says

I cant believe i was bashed last year  saying that the trade for Harris was stupid, i knew i was right, Not just giving up Harris, but Favors, and 2010 number 3 draft pic.  This is the worst management i have ever seen.

 it doesn’t mean he will go away… stay positive dude.

but it put nets management under pressure to bring howard.

"The slim hope the Nets had of Deron Williams signing a contract extension has been dashed completely."

look at the past , when a player doesnt sign an extention, usually he wants to leave.

He isnt looking for and upgrade team, he is looking for a team where he can have a chance to win a title. The Nets are near the bottom, almost anyone they sign could be an improvement

but it came after they missed out on signing Wade,Lebron,Bosh or Amare…then the Melo deal fell through….and they did shock people by getting Deron Williams but it was at a very costly price…

Harris was a decent Starting PG, Favors has a lot of potential and could have grown next to Lopez, The 3rd in this draft could have gotten them Enes Kanter,Brandon Knight or Kemba Walker…saving themselves from this whole scenario…I know they wanted to get 1 star as to lure another…But In retrospect they should have held onto their pick and Favors…Harris could always have been traded later…if Deron leaves after his deal is done in NJ, it will be the dumbest trade ever…

There must be something in the water…Becuz Chris Paul agent informed the Hornets on wednesday that his client wont sign an extension with them and he wants to be traded to Knicks…..But i dont think the Knicks have what the Hornets want…New Orleans should DO that Rondo for CP3 Trade RIGHT NOW….

 I don’t see the celtics taking paul to let him go in 6 months to a rival NYK….

and there is absolutely nothing in the knicks roster that can interest boston if there is a 3 team trade.

 The trade really wasn’t that bad. Favors has potential, but lets see him actually contribute for 30 minutes a night before we get so worked up about losing him. Williams is a huge upgrade from Harris. And all of those picks mentioned above have serious question marks. 

But what the Nets were probably counting on was that in the new CBA home teams were going to have a huge advantage resigning their own players so that basically the home team using its "Larry Bird" rights could never even come close to being matched by another team. But the players would not stand for that deal so it got watered down in the agreed CBA. There is still a pretty big advantage, so Williams is going to have take a lot less if he leaves for another team. Some one will do the math eventually and I suspect it will be north of $20 million difference. Taking into account that the Barclay Brooklyn Center is going to be off the hook and the huge marketing potential of being the face of what will basically be a new franchise playing in a huge TV market and that is going to be hard to leave. 

So if Williams resigns for another five years and this deal results in the Nets having an All-Star PG for 7 years of his prime, is this a bad trade? And since that is still a possibility, then you can’t say for sure this was a bad trade.

It’s pronounced "Dare-en", right?

Cause a guy on the radio pronounced it "Der-ron"

of course he is not going to sign at the moment, they don’t have enough talen there to make him want to sign.  this will all change if they land a couple of key players and build a winning team, then he will wanna sign…

It’s simple math; If he signs the extension he gets $70 million over the next 4 years from the Nets. If he hits free agency he can get 4 years $73 million from another team or 5 years 101 million from the Nets. I wouldn’t give up $3 million either.

i would sign the extention, the 3 million is small price to pay for security. What if he gets hurt, i would take a 5 percent pay cut knowing that my money would be guaranteed

 I am sure he is probably going to end up staying with the Nets, but there is no point in signing an extension right now. I am 100% sure that if Howard was traded to the Nets then both he and Dwight would sign an extension together. By him not signing an extension then he puts pressure on the Nets to keep trying to improve. If he signed an extension right now then management would relax a little bit because they got their star locked up. Not signing an extension is the smarted move to make the Nets better imo

 This isn’t shocking news. Why would he sign an extension? It would give the inclination that he is possibly fine with a rebuilding project, and I’m sure he would want to compete for a title sooner as opposed to being tied up for years while the teams slowly gets pieces. There was a 0% chance of him signing an extension before they brought in title contending worthy pieces to the team.

"i would sign the extention, the 3 million is small price to pay for security. What if he gets hurt, i would take a 5 percent pay cut knowing that my money would be guaranteed"

It’s not 3 million dollars, it’s an extra year and 31 million dollars.

Would you still sign the extention?
