    From everything I've been hearing, Deron Williams is leaning toward re-signing with the Nets. There's still a lot that can happen, though.

    Who is Stefan Bondy and why does he control D Will's decision making?

    What's not a surprise?

    That Deron would not toss away his chance at the most possible money (get the biggest deal resigning with your own team) in the largest market in the U.S. on a whim and would give NJ the chance to show they have a plan for a relatively quick rebuild?

    Yeah, that is not a surprise.

    Or, is the surprise that a New York reporter would claim that Deron is most likely going to resign with the Nets? And that said reporter would back up his claims with.....absoulutely nothing.

    Yeah, that is not a surprise.

    I think this report is worthless. We have learned nothing new, except that this report does contradict Deron's own recent quote about Dallas.

    Nets reporter for New York Daily News.

    I am sure he has sources, but his report is hedged to the hills and he quotes no one.

    Local reporters are notorious for telling fans made up crap just to feed their insatiable demand for what is going to happen.

    Nobody knows yet. Not the Nets management. Not Deron. So, how the fuck could this reporter know?

    Their new arena is awesome.

    The RG commons area and exterior need some major renovating. These new arenas are on another level in comparison.

    I'd rather the team get renovated instead of the concourse. I go to games to watch the Blazers win, not see how much money I can spend on wine and cheese.

    You can have both. Before the luxury boxes were renovated they were "embarrassingly" outdated. You can say the same for the commons area and the exterior hasn't aged well either.

    Though, I bet any renovation will have to wait until the Jumptown development gets started. And that's an "if".

    I'll be very surprised if he re-signs with the Nets. So much is gonna happen between now and free agency.

    I seriously doubt DW stays in Brookland. I don't think he's happy there. I'm not saying he's coming to Portland, but I can see him bolt.

    If you're Deron Williams, why would you re-sign with the Nets when their next best player is Brooke Lopez? He would be committing to them for five more years..... I highly doubt he does that.
