09:29 AM ET 04.28 | Deron Williams, holding the future of the Brooklyn Nets in his signature hand, won't keep the franchise waiting for too long. The prize of the 2012 free agency class said Friday he'll make a decision before the Olympics, which starts with training camp in Las Vegas on July 6 before the Games three weeks later. Otherwise, he was noncommittal about his next destination. He reiterated his desire for winning and a comfortable environment for his six-person family. The Nets have fulfilled the latter, not the former. "I want to win. That's first and foremost. I want to go where I feel we have the best chance to win," Williams said after his team exit interview. "I know we might not win a championship in the first year or two, but hopefully there's the chances of building something special and having flexibility and somewhere where I believe they're headed in the right direction."

Yeah, maybe he can run off Mike Brown like he did Jerry Sloan.

And if he hadn't run him off, he would have had a better coach as well.

It might be because he isn't a complete and total headcase like Dwight and not a selfish me-first player like Melo. He seems like a normal guy who just does his job, respects the media and keeps to himself. Is that so wrong these days?

We keep talking about it because the media keeps asking about it. He has said all along he wanted to see where the Nets were going before he made his decision on where to play next. He hasn't asked for his coach to be fired, refused to play for a coach or been a selfish me-first player. He is giving the Nets a chance to build around him. If they don't he is going somewhere he can possibly win a championship. Dallas or the Lakers would seem like a good landing spot. Both need upgrades at PG and have the pieces to win again. But that is speculation on my part of course. This is T&R
