Hooped Up

Jason Williams wants back in the league, and he could return as a New York Knick or as a Minnesota Viking — oh, wait that’s Brett Farve.

The Knicks have exclusive negotiating rights to point guardJason Williams – if they want them. The NBA yesterday ruled the Knicks have until Thursday to negotiate exclusively with Williams, who retired in September and then sought to be reinstated in February. He was denied by a vote of the league’s teams and the Clippers, whom he signed with last summer, waived their rights to him last week. The Knicks got the first crack because they had the worst record of the interested teams.

The Knicks have Allen Iverson, Ramon Sessions, Jamaal Tinsley and now Jason Williams as an option to quarterback their team next season. Chris Duhon, welcome back to life as a back up.
