The Brooklyn Nets have agreed to buy out point guard Deron Williams so that he can sign with the Dallas Mavericks. The Nets want to dump both Williams and Joe Johnson before the 2015-2016 NBA betting season. Williams was owed $43.3 million over the next two years, and a buyout was the Nets’ preference as opposed to simply releasing the guard. The stretch provision would have allowed the team to spread his cap impact over the next five seasons, but the team has not wanted to do that.
“I don’t think it was just, ‘he had to go.’ … I think it was just where we are as an organization,” Nets general manager Billy King said Saturday. “We’re not in the same place we were before, so it was a chance to reshuffle the deck.”
