Jay Williams' manager, Kevin Bradbury, told The Star-Ledger yesterday the Nets have invited the Plainfield native to take part in their training camp in six weeks. The point guard is "seriously considering" their invitation despite the lack of job security, Bradbury said.

"He's been working out every day with the Nets' coaches for a couple of weeks at their practice facility," Bradbury said yesterday. "But he hasn't accepted the invitation yet. That might not happen for a few more weeks, because he is considering other offers."

The offer Williams wants most, of course, would be one that includes guaranteed money -- which the Nets cannot give him because they will soon have 15 players under contract, the maximum allowed by the NBA.

The 24-year-old, however, has had trouble finding anything but make-good offers, as most teams believe he hasn't regained his skills since the near-fatal motorcycle crash on the north side of Chicago in June 19, 2003, which shattered his pelvis and left leg.
