Deron Williams gets contract extension
2:42 pm —
Former Illini Deron Williams received a contract extension from the Utah Jazz.
D-Will has been one of the leagues best point guards since leaving Illinois after its Final Foul run in 2005. Utah was smart to lock him up long term. Next step is keeping co-All Star Carlos Boozer in town so Williams has someone to pass to.
