NEW YORK - With NBA players reportedly starting to seek other places to play if the NBA lockout drags on, the dispute's first week ended with the sides unable to agree even on the league's money problems.
One week after team owners locked out players from club facilities following the expiration of their working agreement, New Jersey guard Deron Williams has made plans to take his talent to Turkey if the NBA remains shut down.
ESPN reported Williams has an agreement in principle to play for Besiktas, the team that briefly signed former NBA star Allen Iverson last season, and will not report before late next month or early September.
