Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports reported earlier today that the Brooklyn Nets and Sacramento Kings are in trade talks centered around former All-Star PG, Deron Williams.
The reported offer from Sacramento included, Darren Collison, Derrick Williams and Jason Thompson in exchange for Williams.
It's also reported that the Kings also want Mason Plumlee from Brooklyn but the Nets are very reluctant to give up the young big man as they see him as a future building block.
The Nets would certainly be getting much more athletic with this trade, something they extremely lack.
They also would be unloading a huge contract in sending off D-Will as he's due over $20 million per season over the next 2 years.
Williams and Thompson definitely have the athletic ability the Nets need on this team. Especially Williams. He reminds me of Gerald Green. He has that type of athleticism. He hasn't played to his potential, though.
Collison would give the Nets a very young point guard who is athletic himself. He's averaging about the same numbers as D-Will is. He's obviously not better than Deron Williams but he's younger and has some talent.
This may not be the best trade the Nets can get for Deron but Billy King better seriously consider this because I don't know if he'll get any offers for the aging former All-Star.
Here's what Deron would look like in a Kings uni. Via @VNDSGN.
