A veiled critique here, an implied slight there. For the first time since he was bought out and stretched by the Nets a month ago, Deron Williams has spoken out ... in an interview with the Mavs' official website Wednesday.
Williams, who never publicly thanked fans or anyone else for that matter in Brooklyn, spoke glowingly of the organization he's joined in Dallas, one that will pay him $11 million over the next two years, on top of the $27.5 million buyout he got from the Nets. But within those comments were echoes of some long-held critiques of the organization he left.
