Report: Mavs Have ’50-50′ Chance of Signing Deron Williams

It’s Mavericks mourning day, and Deron Williams’ name is now the hot topic in Dallas. ESPN.com reports that Dwight Howard’s decision to commit to the Magic for another season has put a big wrench in the Mavs’ plan to acquire DWill: “One source well-acquainted with Williams’ thinking told ESPN.com this weekend that the Mavericks, in their current state, have no better than a ’50-50 shot’ of getting D-Will’s signature in July … despite the fact that the Nets aren’t any closer to landing Howard than they are.”
