We're not sure if he's going to break out the good china, but Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant is making his sales pitch for the Mavericks.

Bryant sent out a twitter message to free agent point guard Deron Williams on Sunday night:


Bryant is a big basketball fan, as are some of the Cowboys players, and he wouldn't mind Williams, who attended The Colony High School, to play for the Mavs.

The Mavericks are scheduled to meet with Williams as part of his two-team free agent tour. Williams will also talk with the Brooklyn Nets and make a decision about his future this week.
