Deron Williams to Play in Turkey During Lockout

Sources today have confirmed a report from Turkey-based sports outlet NTV Spor that New Jersey Nets guard Deron Williams has agreed  in principal to play for Besiktas of Turkey, which is the team that Allen Iverson played for last season…Sources say Williams doesn’t have to report to the Turkish club before the end of August or early September and that his deal with them will include an immediate out clause that allows him to return to the NBA as soon as the work stoppage ends…Let’s be real, the work stoppage is going to take away a whole season, so why not go play somewhere else…It’s the leverage the players have over the owners
