The Real “decision”

With the entire NBA universe waiting at the edge of their seats for the destination of Nets star Deron Williams, the night will end without an answer. Williams plans to announce where he will play this upcoming season Tuesday.  With this time to sit and speculate, lets reflect on the last major free-agent announcement. Lebron James starred at a sold out event after his signing, but Williams may in fact hold more power with his decision. Multiple teams outside of those directly affected by Williams must wait to make offers or propose deals because of the magnitude of this move. Future Hall of Fame point guards Jason Kidd and Steve Nash are waiting to either ride Williams coat tales, or replace his holes. General Managers are waiting to offer contracts until Williams picks his next home. No one could have ever for seen a time when someone not considered an “Elite” player controls the market so much.  This trend is sure to continue with star players wanting to play along side other stars. The NBA is changing as we speak. If this trend continues the League will soon have a handful of elite teams, with everyone else fighting over the first lottery pick. Last season the Dallas Mavericks won the NBA Championship with one superstar, and it may very well be the last time for years to come.
