Reports: Deron Williams, Mavericks agree on one-year, $10 million contract
Veteran point guard Deron Williams and the Dallas Mavericks have agreed on a one-year, $10 million deal, according to multiple reports.
Williams can't officially sign a contract until the end of the NBA's moratorium period on July 7.
Williams, 32, has fallen victim to Father Time in recent years and is far from the three-time All-Star who boasted 20-point, 10-assist averages during his days with the Utah Jazz and Brooklyn Nets (New Jersey at the time). But still, he proved to be a more-than serviceable starting point guard for Dallas last year in his first season with the team.
He averaged 14.1 points and 5.8 assists in 32.4 minutes before being hindered by a sports hernia in the postseason, where he played in just three of the Mavs' five first-round games against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
He figures to resume his starting role next season for a Dallas squad with little more to offer at the point guard position.
ESPN first reported the contract agreement.
