    Deron Williams was leaning toward signing with the Dallas Mavericks, but the Brooklyn Nets' impending acquisition of Joe Johnson made him change his mind

    "I was really close to going to Dallas," Williams, who signed a five-year, $98 million contract with the Nets, told reporters at Team USA training camp in Las Vegas, according to the New York Daily News.

    Looking for more information on the Nets? ESPNNewYork.com has you covered. Blog

    "I actually thought that's where I was going to go," he said. "I had the meetings and it kind of changed my mind because once I got out of the meeting with Dallas and saw the way they were going and the team they were putting out there, and I saw that we just made a trade for Joe Johnson and I felt like that team for a longer time would be the better team.

    "Joe got me over the hump. I've never played with anybody like him, a guy on the wing that can get his own shot and also get me involved and is a great defender. We could have one of the top backcourts in the NBA for sure."

    Translation: he thinks JJ > Dirk and gives him a better chance to win.

    No one who's ever picked up a basketball thinks JJ is better than Dirk. People say things because they are later held to them by their teammates. Dirk is on his way out soon.


    Stupid Laker got.

    Both. Nets owner is worth more than Cubes. He's even willing to pay over $100M in luxury taxes to put D-12 next to Williams, JJ, and Crash.

    Where would you rather go if you are Williams? JJ will surprise some people this year playing with a real PG. Add D-12 (possibly) to the mix? Fuggetabou .

    JJ was nice in Phoenix. Real nice. Problem for him in ATL was who was setting him up? Exactly. Yet he still made the all star team. I think he will be balling next to a triple threat PG like D-Will.

    Their fans were like hyenas last year laughing at the Lakers. This thread is just a little semblance of payback and a painful reality check.

    Dirk has been to the Finals twice winning one of them. Joe Johnson has been on a team that has been to the Conference Finals once and he wasn't even the third best player on that team (2004-2005 Suns). Yep, Joe Johnson has a better track record of winning and success than Dirk. Dirk's NBA championship ring and Finals MVP trophy mean nothing.

    I'd rather be on Nets too, more money & they will probably make a few strong playoff runs when they get Dwight.

    Deron Williams is completely overrated. He needs to get over himself.

    Dirk doesn't bang in the paint much. He's viable for 5 more years. He aint done.
