Delonte West took to Twitter late Wednesday night to try convincing Deron Williams to sign with the Mavericks. Williams is reportedly going to decide between staying with the Brooklyn Nets and joining his hometown Mavericks.

West, like Williams, will be a free agent when the market opens Sunday. So even if Williams takes West's advice, there's no guarantee West will be around to play alongside him.

There was no indication Williams saw the messages West sent just before midnight, but the Twitterverse took notice as Delonte West soon became a trending topic in Dallas.

Here are the tweets from West to Williams, although West (@CharleeRedz13) didn't use Williams' Twitter handle (@deronwilliams) in the messages:
