Mavericks should target Nash, possibly Eric Gordon, and a veteran big man or two in order to compete towards the end of Dirk's career. It's a shame Deron Williams didn't want to be apart of the Mavericks organization, but he will regret it when he looks back on his career.
Reminds me a hell of a lot of the whole Baron Davis-Elton Brand scenario a few years back. Davis and Brand wanted to play together on the Clippers (allegedly) and in the end Davis ended up on the Clippers (where he rotted away and they missed the playoffs with a mediocre roster) and Brand ended up on the 76ers (where he has been decent and seen a few playoff years). If Deron chooses the Nets, which looks about 95% at this point, he will be making the same mistake.

I agree. It's a horrible decision basketball wise but he likes the area and so does his wife. The money doesn't hurt either. It looks like the best decision for him and his wife if that's what makes em happy.
Unfortunately there aren't enough Dirk, Lebron, Kobe types where it's all about the game. That's what separates the good from the greats. I don't blame Deron.
