"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Deron Williams may give the Nets' new uniforms a try next season. (Jesse D. Garrabrant/NBAE via Getty Images)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Tuesday, we reported that free-agent point guard Deron Williams had narrowed his list down to two teams (the Brooklyn Nets and the Dallas Mavericks), and that both had publicly wished him a happy 28th birthday on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now come reports that Williams appears to be leaning toward re-signing with the Nets. Ken Berger of CBSSports.com reported on Tuesday that five sources told him that that Mavericks \"are becoming increasingly worried\" that Williams will stay in the Northeast.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Wednesday, Chris Broussard of ESPN.com reported that Nets coach Avery Johnson was one of only eight or so people who attended an intimate birthday dinner for Williams; that Williams ducked into Nets general manager Billy King's press conference on Wednesday morning; and that he has been working out almost daily at the Nets' practice facility.\nSources also tell Broussard that Williams has discussed strategies for next season with Johnson.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
