The Nets Ben Couch has posted transcripts of several recent question and answer sessions with the beat writers, including those of Billy King and new Net Larry Owens on Wednesday as well as others from Avery Johnson and Brook Lopez.

One particularly interesting exchange between King and the writers on checking Deron Williams' "temperature". This was the day before the Nets win over the Warriors.

How often do you take Deron Williams’ temperature?

Billy: I talk to him, I talk to all our guys. Obviously, I talk to Deron quite a bit. He’s frustrated: losing and trying to figure it out. I don’t think he’s playing as well as he’d like. I think, as you’ve said, this part’s been tough for everybody.
