Deron Williams has reached an agreement with the Turkish team Besiktas that would see the Nets star play overseas this fall if the NBA lockout isn’t over. Williams, who will reportedly be paid on a monthly basis, will have an out clause in his contract with Besiktas that would allow him to return to the Nets as soon as the lockout ends. But should he get hurt while overseas, NBA officials tell the Times that it could jeopardize his Nets contract. (One assumes either he or his team will make insurance arrangements.) Still, the potential for an injury is a concern for Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov, as well. To quote Henry Abbott, “There’s nothing like watching the future of your franchise take the floor night in and night out in a chippy overseas league.” [NYDN, NYT, ESPN]
