Deron Williams will become a free agent as of 12:01 a.m. Sunday and speculation where the Nets' valued  point guard will play next season are in full swing— especially on a Long Island golf course.

Yesterday, Williams shot a round of golf with Dallas Mavericks point guard Jason Kidd and he had a lot of fun messing with his fans on Twitter by tweeting a photo of them in a golf cart and saying:

"Just finished playing East Hampton Golf Club w/ @RealJasonKidd let the speculation begin?????"

Kidd— who has played for the Mavericks since being traded by the Nets in 2008— has openly expressed that he wouldn't mind backing up Williams in either Brooklyn or Dallas.

Then Kidd took the two star players' plans to another level by tweeting this reply:

"Since you won, we're going to ..." before later deleting the tweet.



The Nets are the favorites to re-sign Williams and have promised their marquee player they would surround him with more talent next season.  But Williams was raised outside Dallas and there has been a lot of talk about him returning to his hometown and a playoff caliber team.

Mavericks' guard Delonte West, last week, even reached out to Williams by tweeting how great it was playing alongside Dirk Nowitzki.

Stay tuned for the Kidd and the who will he play for show.
