Current Value

Right now, Deron Williams’ value is the highest it has been all year. After missing eight games earlier in the year due to injury, Williams is back full healthy as he has logged over 30 minutes a night in each of his last 10 games.

Not only is Williams back fully healthy, but he has been one of the best players on the court for the Mavericks. Williams has scored over 15 points in eight out of his last nine games with three of them being over 20.

Not only has his scoring been back, but just a few weeks ago Williams logged 28 assists in a two game span. His playmaking, ball handling, and scoring looks to be back to normal for the 32-year-old.

For the right price, what contender wouldn’t want that for a stretch run? His contract would be hard to make room for in some situations, but if a contender could pull it off, you could see them dish out a first round pick or a younger player off the bench for Williams.
