Mavericks' Deron Williams: Will opt out of contract

Williams will opt out of the final year of his contract with the Mavericks, Dwain Price of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Analysis:

Williams, just like his teammate Chandler Parsons, is looking to take advantage of the increasing salary cap and seek a significant pay raise for the 2016-17 season. While Williams' age is definitely a factor going forward, the Mavericks may be reluctant to sign the former All-Star if his price gets too high.
