DALLAS — After seeing his production take a slight dip last season with the Brooklyn Nets before eventually negotiating a buyout this summer, three-time All-Star point guard Deron Williams says he’s looking forward to beginning the 2015-16 campaign with a clean slate.
Last season, Williams produced his lowest-scoring output since his rookie campaign, averaging 13.0 points, 6.6 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 31.1 minutes an outing while appearing in 68 games for the Nets. He also shot just 38.7 percent from the field, leading to the eventual buyout talks with the Nets’ front office this summer.
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound floor general then promptly signed with the Dallas Mavericks as a free agent on July 14, inking a reported two-year deal worth $10 million that includes a player option for the second season.
