Deron will be in Brooklyn for opener, especially if Dwight can be lured there as well
NY Post

That headline makes no sense. If Deron Williams will be in Brooklyn for the opener, what does it matter if Dwight Howard joins the Nets or not? Besides, the only way Deron Williams will be in Brooklyn for the opener is if the Nets host Dallas.
Soon after Bruce Ratner bought the Nets and revealed intentions to relocate from New Jersey to Brooklyn, he asked whether I’d attend more or fewer home games.
It’d be impossible to show up less than zero. Not that it mattered anyway, I told Ratner. “I’ll be retired by the time your dream becomes reality.”
As it turns out, I’ll be correct by just a few months.
Still, the chances I’ll show up in November for opening night are a tinge greater if Dwight Howard is the Nets’ centerfold vs. Brook Lopez, and Deron Williams is their lifeguard.
Then again, I promise to get there early and leave late if I know Sandy Koufax, Don Newcombe, Carl Erskine, Ralph Branca, Tom LaSorda, Don Zimmer, Roger Craig, Vin Scully, Rachel Robinson and Joan Hodges — or just the wives of Jackie and Gil — are going to bless the occasion with their revered presence.
OK, so what are the odds Dwight and Deron become made members of the Nets?
NoLandGrab: Uh, that'd be zero, Pete.
