Deron Williams signed his $100m NBA contract with his finger on an iPad

Is this the end for the transfer deadline day fax machine?

DERON WILLIAMS OFFICIALLY became a Brooklyn Net in style in last night, signing his $100 million contract with his finger on an iPad.

According to Nets Daily, the team is obsessed with iPads, and uses them to watch game tape, track training programs, and study plays.

We assume iPad contracts are legally binding.

“Officially a Brooklyn Net! Signed my contract on an iPad Just thank God for this wonderful Opportunity #HelloBrooklyn,” he tweeted along with this picture.

Could this be the future of sporting transfers? Does this mean no more heart in mouth moments and late filing as football clubs push page after page through a creaking old fax machine.

Could Seanie Johnston have played for Kildare by now if the GAA had simply tracked his Kildare IP?
