Seeing the big picture future for the Nets (22-44) in a positive light was hard, Deron Williams admitted. And then he went back to Brooklyn this past week and visited the Barclays Center in its final stages of construction. Suddenly, Williams remembered what the plan was all about. He could envision a team that, a) was healthy, and, b) actually able to win some games. Naturally, so much depends on what he does after his expected opt-out of the final year of his contract.

“I’ve got some big decisions to make. I think going to Brooklyn helped me see the vision again, so we’ll see what happens,” Williams said.

There was no commitment like, “Hey, I’m coming back definitely.” But there were positive words, expressions about a positive future. And that was a far cry from recent moments where he admitted to counting down the days to the end of the season for example.
