And yes, sir! I agree Simmons' proclaiming it's a done deal feels damn good. The signs are there (common agent, D-Will backstage during the Finals). Also, unlike Bosh, Deron hasn't said he doesn't want to return to Dallas.
Dwight is still a total variable but if Dallas can secure Deron, Dallas has to look damn appetizing comparatively speaking to whatever else is out there.

For the record, securing Deron without Dwight is a home run in my book, and that's the scenario I can start to see materializing if Dwight is not a Net after the trade deadline.
Getting both is still a complete fantasy scenario to me. It's fun to think about and not impossible, but so out there that I won't believe it until it actually happens.
