The Mavericks will get the first face-to-face sitdown tomorrow afternoon with Deron Williams, sources familiar with Williams’ plans tell Marc Stein of ESPN.com. The Nets will get their chance to talk to the point guard at night to recap the pitch that they have been pushing for weeks.
With Dirk Nowitzki traveling and owner Mark Cuban in Los Angeles working on his television show this week, sources say that Dallas will be represented by president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson, coach Rick Carlisle, and former player Michael Finley. However, Dallas is really banking on Jason Kidd making a strong pitch for them as the two vacation in the Hamptons.
