Deron Williams has spoken with principal owner Mikhail Prokhorov and general manager Billy King about the direction of the Nets over the next few months.

Sources say making a run at Dwight Howard in order to improve their team.

"He definitely talked about that and it gets you excited," Williams said of Prokhorov. "When your owner says he’s going to spend the money and put people around you, that’s definitely appealing.

"There’s a lot of stuff that appeals to me as far as my future here."

Howard is eligible to be a free agent in 2012.
