New Jersey Nets point guard Deron Williams is considering taking his talents abroad."I'm already looking into playing overseas," said Williams, who was in Santa Monica, Calif., Tuesday taking part in an event featuring his favorite video game series, Call of Duty. "I haven't looked anywhere in general; I'm just looking into the possibility of playing over there. But I'm not going to make a decision until after the CBA."Beyond that, Williams had nothing more to say about the labor negotiations between the NBA owners and players."I'm not even going to talk about it," Williams said.

Sources close to Knicks president Donnie Walsh say he has targeted Kings 6-foot-11 shotblocker Samuel Dalembert as the likeliest free-agent catch this summer.Walsh's old-school principles have made adding a big, bruising starting defensive center to play alongside power forward Amar'e Stoudemire as his No. 1 priority. It might be a strong enough urge to sacrifice what could be maximum cap room in 2012, essentially sacrificing a shot at point guard Chris Paul.The Knicks realize some top free agents likely will stay put or be out of their financial range. Memphis' Marc Gasol and Dallas' Tyson Chandler are expected to re-sign, and the Clippers probably will match an offer to the young DeAndre Jordan. Source: ESPN

There's nothing he can't do. I would say there's no shot he can't make." Source: ESPN

wow thats pretty sad

I personally think this is total bolonga

In my opinion I dont think the Knicks need to change much during the off season. I think getting Melo was a big step in the right direction. Might a few tweaks here or there but nothing major

i agree its gonna be tough tough. really tough but at least we made the playoffs that a big step in the right direction

I heard about this. he had a hell of a career. im sure he will get into announcing somewhere

The yanks need to do somethin with this guy. it just seems like he blows it every game hes in

right now im watching the masters. then ill probabbly watch baseball tonight then watch my yankees

welcome to the site

I hope that he does play better in the postseason cause the knicks are going to need him. especially to even get past the first round

I would go with 1 or possibly 2. I definitely think he will win one in his career but not many
