Deron Williams has officially reached an agreement with the Brooklyn Nets. He has signed a 5 year, $100 million contract extension with Brooklyn. As of right now, he is partnered up with Joe Johnson. Dwight Howard could potentially join the two, but it is a longshot.

During the 2011-12 season, Deron Williams averaged 21 points, 9 assists and 3 rebounds per game. With Joe Johnson and Gerald Wallace alongside Deron Williams, the Nets are expected to be in the playoff race next season.
