Deron Williams said he is unwilling to give any assurances about signing a long-term contract with the New Jersey Nets, although he’s excited to be the newest member of the franchise.
Williams, a two-time All-Star point guard, was traded yesterday from the Utah Jazz for rookie Derrick Favors, the No. 3 pick in the 2010 National Basketball Association draft; guard Devin Harris; and first-round draft selections in 2011 and 2012.
