The deal, which won’t be official until July 11, gives the Nets one of the league’s best shooting guards to pair with Williams – assuming he re-signs with the team this week – in what would be one of the NBA’s best backcourts. With the Nets already having re-signed small forward Gerald Wallace during the opening hours of free agency Sunday, able to match any offer for restricted free agent center Brook Lopez and with a deal for Bosnian power forward Mirza Teletovic likely to happen in the coming days, the Nets only need Williams to agree to a max deal to enter Brooklyn and Barclays Center this fall with a starting lineup capable of pushing the franchise into the upper echelons of the Eastern Conference.
