Lichtenstein: D-Will’s Return To BK Isn’t This Story Many Want It To Be

Dallas Mavericks point guard Deron Williams will return to Barclays Center on Wednesday in what is being billed as his revenge game.

The former Net trashed his four-plus year tenure as the face of the franchise in an interview on Monday, telling Michael Lee of Yahoo.com, “It took a lot out of me. Made me question if I even wanted to play basketball when I was done with that contract.”

With D-Will’s new team a solid playoff contender at 15-12, while his old one is scuffling at 8-20 after Tuesday’s 105-102 upset win in Chicago, the story line is all too obvious.
