Sometime Thursday afternoon, New York time, Deron Williams and family will exit an aircraft at Istanbul's Ataturk Aiport where they're likely to be greeted by the same kind of welcome that his teammate Jordan Farmar got in Israel and Corey Maggette received in Greece: cheering, stomping, banner waving European hoops fans.
After a one-day delay, Williams left the United States at around 10 p.m. Wednesday for Turkey and training camp with Besiktas in Istanbul. His teammates will reportedly include Zaza Pachulia and David Hawkins, his backcourt mate who played for the Jazz summer league team in 2006.
Besiktas opens its EuroCup season vs. Dexia Mons of Belgium on September 27.

He should be there by morning (afternoon in Istanbul)
Which airport did he leave from?
...assuming non-stop Jerry
dont assume you’re going to take four kids on a non-stop even if it’s a charter.
He'll get there early afternoon Istanbul time
This AM new York time. Probably already there if not close, even with a connecting flight.

and i cant believe people in greece know(or dont know?) corey maggette
their last memory of him must be the slam dunk contest in phoenix or oakland when he did the backflips. and think he still plays with lamar odom, elton brand, darius miles, and quentin richardson.
