    As it turns out, New Jersey Nets point guard Deron Williams may want to stay after all.

    "I like this organization a lot," Williams said, according to the New York Daily News. "I like the direction they're going. They made me and my family feel real comfortable since I've gotten here. I like Coach [Avery] Johnson -- the way he coaches and the way he carries himself. I definitely can see myself staying here."

    Williams, who averaged 15.0 points and 12.8 assists in 12 games for the Nets, can opt out of his contract and become an unrestricted free agent after the 2011-12 season. The Nets are slated to move to Brooklyn in 2012-13.

    The two-time All-Star said he would be amenable to signing an extension in the offseason.

    He just doesn't want to look like a bitch by hating NJ after half a season.

    I'll believe him when he signs that extension.

    I think it was a huge gamble acquiring him in the first place. The Nets gave up serious assets, including the 3rd overall pick, to acquire a player who seems to have his sights set on a winning now. The Nets seem to be quite far from playoff contention.

    Unless they can lure a big time free agent, I don't see Deron staying.
