Mike D'Antoni knows free agent Shawne Williams is weighingother offers.
But he hopes Williams decides to return to the Knicks.
"I know that he’s got some interest elsewhere and he’slooking, which he should," D'Antoni said on Saturday. "Right now,he's taking care of the business end and hopefully it works out and come backto us. But we’ll just see how it shakes out."
After a season in which he made a career-high 40% of his3-point attempts and showed value as a defender, Williams will likely commandstrong offers from other suitors.
The Knicks reportedly have been in contact with Williams'agent, Happy Walters.
In an interview with HOOPSWORLD.com posted last Friday,Williams hinted that his first choice would be to return to New York.
"I’m not going to lie, that’s where I want to be,"said Williams, who averaged seven points and nearly four rebounds off the benchlast season. "I’ve never been with a team [for] two years."
"I feel like I’m acquainted with coach D'Antoni and thestaff ... and we’ve got great fans, so that’s a place I want to play," headded.
He said in the interview that he'll listen to "allcomers."
"'I'm not going to say I'm one of the Paul Pierces orthe Chris Pauls of the league and I can pick where I want to go," saidWilliams, who has clearly been paying attention to rumors surrounding theKnicks. "As a free agent, I’m going to entertain who ever offers. Buthopefully I'll be with the Knicks. If it don’t work, out I had fun with theKnicks and it was a great season with them last year."
