Deron Williams and Jason Kidd tweet about teaming up

Deron Williams will become a free agent as of 12:01 a.m. Sunday and speculation where the Nets' valued  point guard will play next season are in full swing— especially on a Long Island golf course.

Yesterday, Williams shot a round of golf with Dallas Mavericks point guard Jason Kidd and he had a lot of fun messing with his fans on Twitter by tweeting a photo of them in a golf cart and saying:

"Just finished playing East Hampton Golf Club w/ @RealJasonKidd let the speculation begin?????"

Kidd— who has played for the Mavericks since being traded by the Nets in 2008— has openly expressed that he wouldn't mind backing up Williams in either Brooklyn or Dallas.

Then Kidd took the two star players' plans to another level by tweeting this reply:

"Since you won, we're going to ..." before later deleting the tweet.

The Nets are the favorites to re-sign Williams and have promised their marquee player they would surround him with more talent next season.  But Williams was raised outside Dallas and there has been a lot of talk about him returning to his hometown and a playoff caliber team.

Mavericks' guard Delonte West, last week, even reached out to Williams by tweeting how great it was playing alongside Dirk Nowitzki.

Stay tuned for the Kidd and the who will he play for show.

Delonte West gives Gordon Hayward a "Wet Willie"

In what has to one of the most unusual fouls in NBA history, oddball Dallas Mavericks guard Delonte West gave Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward a "Wet Willie" during last night's game.

It happened during the second quarter of the game when West walked over to his opponent and stuck his finger in Hayward's ear.

Jazz announcers jumped all over the act.

"The low of lows in sportsmanship," one said.  "I've never seen that in professional sports— a finger in the ear," said the other.




West was just called for a blocking foul on Hayward before he walked over and touched him.  It's hard to see where West's finger was before the incident.  He received a technical for the childish offense but was not ejected.

Maybe a "purple nurple" would justify getting thrown out.

Either way, Hayward had the last laugh after the Jazz beat the Mavs, 123-121, in three overtimes.

Mavericks' Delonte West Banned From White House

The Dallas Mavericks will be visiting the White House today, as each member of the 2011 NBA champions will meet with the nation's number one basketball fan President Barack Obama— everyone except for off-guard Delonte West.

The often-troubled player— who was arrested two years ago while under the influence of prescribed medication— is banned (his words) from stepping stepping foot in the White House after the President's security team ran a background check on West.

The rest of the Mavericks team will get to shake hands with the President at expense of owner Mark Cuban.

West was quoted by the Fort-Worth Star Telegram after Saturday nights Mavericks victory:


"I'm banned from going to the White House, so I'm not going to make it," said West.  I'm going home to D.C., I'm just not allowed to go to the White House.  That's what happens when you make bad decisions in your life.  You can't go to the White House."


West, who was born in Washington, D.C., claims to have visited 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue before.


"I've been there 100 times in my lifetime," he said.  "I live right around the corner.  I live in D.C..  It's going to be ashamed the President isn't going to get a chance to meet me.  I'm the president of my house."

Later, West went on Twitter to profanely rant against the Dallas-area reporters.  According to reports, West saved most of his venom for a beat reporter from Akron who now writes for ESPN and wasn't even at the Mavericks game.

West, who was picked up by the Mavs in December has a history of trouble and was arrested in 2009 for a motor vehicle infraction while carrying two handguns and a shotgun in a guitar case. 

The tattooed guard has been pretty consistent this season by averaging 8.0 points and 3.1 assists for Dallas.

The nasty tweets have since been deleted.
