08:05 AM ET 01.19 | This season has already been a long one for Deron Williams, who since coming back from Europe has played for a Nets team that lost 11 of its first 14 games. Which leaves Williams in this strange place, waiting for things to turn around in New Jersey, or plotting an escape via free agency this summer if they don't. ... It is widely assumed around the NBA that Williams is ticketed to his hometown Dallas Mavericks as a free agent this summer if the Nets can't persuade him to stay. But lurking in the background -- as will be the case for as long as Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol are still on the roster and still healthy enough to trade -- are the Los Angeles Lakers.

Why would the lakers trade anyone if they have a shot at D-Will this summer via free agency. Doesn't make any sense.
Im assuming I love LA is going to say "Come to L.A. Bro" or something.

There's a reason why the Lakers have not made a move at acquiring a point guard. There's a reason why the Lakers have not made a move at Dwight Howard. It could be because the Lakers are sizing up their current roster and are making decisions as to which would be the best move for the team moving forward. The Lakers are an attractive team for any player and they do have certain assets to make a move without giving up Gasol or Bynum. Both Artest and Walton's contract come off the Lakers roster after this season, certain draft options gained with the trade of Odom, coupled with the fact that the loyalty to Fisher with his age will expire this off-season. So, there is an outside chance D-Will could be wearing a Laker uniform next season.

Another conspiracy? D-Will isn't going anywhere.

That's a no brainier for the Lakers. They have the pieces to make a trade. Keep Bynum because we need his size. Also there is always the possibility to snatch DWill as FA.

He won't resign with the Nets and have to endure all that losing.

It was kinda funny when D-will came back to Utah to play the Jazz the other day he was saying the Jazz have the best management in the NBA. That was before the Jazz beat them too. He was saying how he loved the Jazz, It's crazy if you think how the Jazz traded him unexpectedly but the Jazz were not about to let D-will do to them like Lebron did to the cavs and the Carmelo Anthony did to Denver. Denver was winning and he still wanted to bail on them to a crap team. He put that organization in a choke hold until they traded him. The Jazz got out in front of another superstar bailing on a small market team and reaped the rewards for it. The Jazz will be in the playoffs for sure. They have the 2nd best record in the west and there is not 8 teams better than the Jazz in the west. Too bad he had to leave the Jazz and I think it is cool that he speaks so highly of the Jazz even though they traded him off.

Beastie Boys had a jam about Brooklyn, can't remember the song title. Age catching up? Deron would be wise to move along to the Mavs.
