Analysis and reactions to Deron Williams signing with team in Turkey

...and signs with Besictas,same team that had Iverson on their roster last season.According to Turkish reports he'll earn 200.000 per month and will leave as soon as lockout ends and return to the Nets.


Story is at the top of [URL="http://www.insidehoops.com/nba_rumors.shtml"]http://www.insidehoops.com/nba_rumors.shtml[/URL]

We'll see if this rumor actually comes true or not.

The source is a large TV station in Turkey.

ANOTHER UPDATE: ESPN and NY Daily News, and others, confirm that D-Will really intends to play in Turkey if the lockout continues.

Deron will owning on there if its true.

He will be the second coming of the messiah of the basketball court.

Wow if true.

Really interested to see what kinda numbers he puts up over there.

In before Euroleague says he'll suck

What excuse for him to say that I wonder.. Deron is smart player, efficient n stuff.

Nba champions would lose by 30 to Greek national team :lol

30? Why limit yourself?

This is pretty laughable.

It's actually a major media outlet in Turkey reporting it.

And it appears to be the TV network that has the rights to NBA game broadcasts in that country.

So, this could have real legs

Let's wait and see if this really materializes.

the worst part he will not play in Euroleague :cry: .I would love to see him :(

would be even better if espn can televise his games

:banghead:

i wonder when this agreement took place,

I highly doubt he risks his $100M extension to play in Turkey. He also is a person who is iffy on Brooklyn because his wife is so picky about where he lives. I doubt he is moving to Turkey. I don't care who reported it, it's clearly not happening.

I don't think it's happening but if it is then Besiktas is building a solid team.

They have already signed Zaza Pachulia

[QUOTE]Besiktas have reportedly agreed on terms of contract with Zaza Pachulia (212-C-84). The 27-year-old centre has been playing in the NBA since 2003. He was drafted by the Orlando Magic in the second round of the NBA Draft. Zaza Pachulia was the member of the Atlanta Hawks squad since 2005. Last season the Georgian player notched 4.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. Zaza Pachulia is not new to Turkey. He played for Ulker Istanbul in 1999/2003 seasons. The centre made it into Eurobasket.com Turkish League All-Bosman Players Team in 2003. Zaza Pachulia has been the Georgian National Team player since 2000. The centre averaged 15.8 points, 7.5 boards and 1.8 assists per game at 2011 EuroBasket Qualifying Round.[/QUOTE]

Too bad Besiktas is not even a Euroleague team

i 100% retract my prior post. i hear nets are in total panic mode (their franchise not yet signed franchise player is going to play overseas with his surgically repaired wrist). Cool. What a bizarre offseason this will be...

Get that paper Deron!

Your team disagrees vehemently. :lol

i don't think he is risking anything and btw istanbul is a great city and they probably had been there before

I love how you say everything with such certainty.. like you know anything about what Deron and his wife want to do.:oldlol: You're just bullshitting, and for some reason insecure about the Nets next year if the lockout doesnt cancel the season.

I cannot WAIT to see the Knicks play next year.. watching Melo AKA Jamal Crawford 2.0 and Amare fall flat on their faces again will be hilarious.:rockon:

[QUOTE=niko]Your team disagrees vehemently. :lol[/QUOTE]

Like you know anything what my team wants or doesn't want.

[QUOTE=wang4three]Like you know anything what my team wants or doesn't want.[/QUOTE]
i know people who work there, they are frenzied and trying to contact his agent. Believe me or don't i do not care. :confusedshrug: Aside from giving you my friends name and what he does (which i clearly cannot) i can't, so that's that. BTW,Do you really think the Nets want Deron and his surgically repaired wrist to travel to Turkey to play btw? Logic dictates no. Tell me why they would.

BTW, other dipshits i already admitted i was wrong. What do you want? Should i do the typical ISH thing and argue i'm right even though i know i'm wrong? I can if it makes you feel better.

Like I said, like you know anything about what my team wants or doesn't want. You're a proven Nets-hater and in every single Nets thread you report about how each move will lead to our demise.

For a guy who has supposed contacts with the organization, you seem to only "report" the most antagonistic agendas. Then when people contest you, you only say you "know people" as a way to dismiss the fact that you have no factual base to any of your claims.

Either way, you're not the only one who knows people. I know people in the Nets and Knicks. Last thing I'll do is go boasting what they tell me on a message board forum to prop my silly, meaningless agendas.

So, you think the Nets want him to go play overseas during the lockout a few months removed from surgery on his wrist? of course they don't. Which has a better chance of being good for the Nets? Him playing overseas, or not playing.

The nets DO NOT WANT HIM TO PLAY overseas. Go check your beat writer's reports today. He's calling everyone and the Nets are clamoring to find out what is going on. I guarantee he reports that later.

What other net hating things do i post? The fact i don't think Deron is 100% to resign? Do you?

No one ever wants to man up. That's why everyone gets so pissy. I'll say i don't think Deron has decided yet if he resigns (but i think he does). Net fans say YOU SUCK! HATER HATER! But, what you won't say is you think 100% he will resign. I'm a hater, you apparently - indecisive.

And no i don't know anyone in mgmt and i could 100% be getting lied to i guess, but the person i know says people are scrambling to try to call Deron. And i've always talked about all the comp net tickets i used to get (not Newark sadly...and definitely not Brooklyn). I'm sure you are an expert on me.

it says that turkey is negotiating directly with williams, and hes up for it...dude will beast...and hes probably just signing on to keep in rhythm and have an all paid vacation down in eastern europe. untill the nba season comes back

BTW, i'm no hater - if you tell me Melo or Amare are going overseas i'm NOT going to be happy. You go overseas, you get injured possibly, and it ****s up the NBA season when it returns. No thank you. I don't see why any rational person would want their franchise player to go play for another team he never probably heard of before.

Note: i'm not saying it's bad for the player, or i blame the player, or i wouldn't do the same thing. im saying from a selfish id like my team to do better when the season comes back perspective, the downside is too great, and the upside is nothing.

$200k a week for your family to chill on a beach while you play basketball. :facepalm sigh...i get less than that for a full year to have to talk to stupid white people about numbers i don't care about in ****ing NJ.

200k a month?

That's waist money!!!

Beasley could go play overthere for weed money. Does Amsterdam have a league?

just blow that shit knowing you got millions sitting in an account back home

[QUOTE=niko]Beasley could go play overthere for weed money. Does Amsterdam have a league?[/QUOTE]
beasley would probably be high before and after games, and be smoking during timeouts and on the bench all while it is televised on espn, where half of the commentary would be on what kind of quality weed you can buy and where.

[QUOTE=niko]So, you think the Nets want him to go play overseas during the lockout a few months removed from surgery on his wrist? of course they don't. Which has a better chance of being good for the Nets? Him playing overseas, or not playing.[/quote]

No I don't think they do. That's obvious. I don't believe they're in super panic mode nor that are there such dramas with his wife. That's you mouthing off shit.

Do I really have to go into a list of how many anti-Nets posts you've made? It started when you said there was no shot of us moving to Brooklyn. How we'll never break ground. Or how Rod Thorn left because he was forced out by the Russians or whatever agenda-driven bullshit.

I moderate the Nets forum and am there rather regularly..Unless there are some fans that do not post there, none of us writes in intermittent caps style like you're saying. If anything, you have come into many Nets threads to provoke us and try to stir a reaction. If that did occur, then I only can infer from your history that you were there to incite a reaction and then took it out-of-context as us being irrational.

Getting comped tickets is not a sign of knowing someone important in the organization. I have friends at MSG that got me courtside a few times and I knew about the Melo trade before they did.

Let me say one more thing. I don't dislike you. I just don't believe you when it comes to Nets-related unconfirmed reports.

Imagine if there is no season and Deron walks as a FA and you ended up giving away all those players/picks for nothing. You might break the record this time for least wins ever.

The wife things is not from me. It's from Steven A who said that she is iffy on basically everywhere, nto just Brooklyn. It's part of the reason DWill cannot confirm. He said she doesn't like to move around. It's what made me think, Turkey? Really? Which i admitted i was wrong.

And when we discuss DWill, ANY implication at all that he might not resign with the nets gets me called names. And i've never once said "i don't think he stays there". I said he's still considering which is why he's changing agents (the thread is around) and immediately got called a hater and that i wished he would leave. Such is life...

anyway im not interesting, so can someone answer me a question? Why this team? And i totally do not mean this is a a negative way, i mean why Turkey? Why this team? ARe other teams also calling?
