Sean Williams says he wants to stay with the Nets, but admitted Saturday that he asked Rod Thorn not to pick up his third year option. "I love this team," said the now third-string center before adding, "It's part of the business. I want to get to my second deal as fast as possible." The Nets are "willing to deal" the athletically gifted Williams, Stromile Swift or Trenton Hassell, reports the Boston Globe.
