Shawne Williams will decide by Wednesday whether or not to sign with the Knicks, according to a report on ESPNNewYork.com.
“They know where we stand, we know where we stand,” Happy Walters, the agent for Williams and Amar’e Stoudemire, told the site.
The Mavericks, Heat and Lakers are also interested in Williams, who made 40 percent of his 3-point shots off the bench and averaged seven points and nearly four boards in New York last year.
The Knicks are over the cap and currently have only the $2.5 million “room” exception to use on a player like Williams.
“I’m not going to lie, that’s where I want to be,” Williams told HOOPSWORLD.com last week. “I’ve never been with a team [for] two years.”
“I feel like I’m acquainted with coach [Mike] D’Antoni and the staff … and we’ve got great fans, so that’s a place I want to play,” he added.
