It's on the Internet, so it must be true"We're all supposed to pretend this might not happen even though it's a bigger summer lock than Michael Phelps winning a gold medal. I haven't talked to one person 'In the Know' who isn't 100 percent convinced that Dallas is getting him. But let's all keep pretending this isn't true."
Yes. Bill Simmons is saying that Deron Williams is coming to the Dallas Mavericks.
Clearly, no details on if Williams is talking off the record or if Mark Cuban is doing the same. Someone's talking and Simmons' statement is so cryptic and "wink-wink" that it seems pretty legitimate (and the fact that it appears that he's pretty tied in with NBA folks, media and management).
This was the plan. Clear out Tyson Chandler, get Jason Kidd and Jason Terry off the books, and load up for another two- or three-year run with Dirk Nowitzki.
The debate stands now as to whether Nowitzki needs a point guard or a defensive center. Chandler clearly made a huge impact without significant points, something Williams provides. A defensive bookend in the frontcourt with Nowitzki seems the best option and that could include an expensive option like Dwight Howard or maybe Cuban and Donnie Nelson have a cheaper option in mind.
Is Williams worth it? I think he's a swell player. I also think he's a lead dog on a bad team or a pack runner on a good team. On the Mavericks, the game would still run through Dirk with Williams being a secondary option. I'm not in love with Williams. He's really good. I don't know if he's good enough to win a championship, even with Dirk.
Also, this brings up another point: Will the Mavericks bring back Jason Terry? Unless he completely falls off this season, he's good for a two- or three-year contract, right? He's a useful bench guy, instant offense and a part of what the Mavericks built here. Will they let him walk? As the world turns.
