Am I getting more comfortable with the Price signing?  Maybe, now that O’Connor stated that he keeps his core players informed of signings and the direction they’re going.

We try to keep our players informed on things.  Specifically, do I talk about what we’re doing? Yes, we try to keep the guys we have under contract informed.

So I would assume that meant that Deron knew Dee wasn’t going to be kept.  I would think that if that was going to be a major issue for Williams, he would have said something to O’Connor at that point.  So while I don’t think Deron necessarily gave him his blessing, he had to be somewhat okay with it or I think there would have been a bigger fuss made and maybe Dee would have been given a guaranteed contract.
