I love the fact that Deron Williams broke the news himself eliminating the need for all sources.

All-Star point guard Deron Williams has agreed to a five-year contract worth nearly $100 million to remain with the Brooklyn Nets.

Williams announced his decision on his Twitter account Tuesday night, opting to stay with the Nets rather than sign with the Dallas Mavericks. He also directly informed the Nets that he was accepting the team’s five-year, $100 million offer, league sources said. Under NBA rules, the Nets could offer Williams a fifth season worth about $25 million while the Mavericks’ offer was limited to four years.
