Deron W\u00eelliams signs with Besiktas, Istanbul<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s finally official: New Jersey Nets point guard Deron Williams will be playing in Turkey next season during the lockout in NBA.<\/h1>\n

D-Will tweeted the signature on his one-year contract with Besiktas Istanbul, the black eagles, from his Twitter account.<\/p>\n

“Just made it official, headed to Turkey …signed with Besiktas & @BJK_Basketbol,” he wrote informing on his contract with Besiktas reportedly worth $5 million.<\/p>\n

Atlanta Hawks center Zaza Pachulia, who also owns a turkish passport, also has an agreement to play for the Istanbul based club, which briefly employed Allen Iverson last season.<\/p>\n

Players under contract like Williams would typically need a letter of clearance from FIBA — the sport’s world governing body — to play anywhere else.<\/p>\n

Some tweets from all around the world, as Besiktas makes the best basketball signing ever in Europe !<\/h2>\n

Make a humble 5 million during a lockout year not bad.<\/p>\n

Byeeeeeeeee. Bring back some k\u00f6fte when you come back!<\/p>\n

It’ll keep him nice and fresh, who wouldn’t want that? Stop being worried about injuries, this guy can take care of himself.<\/p>\n

HE’D DO ANYTHING TO GET AWAY FROM THE NETS!!!!<\/p>\n

If I was an NBA player, I wouldn’t leave and go overseas, I would stay in America to play basketball in a rec league and get some part time job doing something.<\/p>\n

when a few more superstars like dwight and melo go to europe or china, the owners will cave in quick and pay the union all the money they want.<\/p>\nError, group does not exist! Check your syntax! (ID: 9)<\/span>\n\n
