Derrick Williams had a chance to return to the Big Apple, but he turned that opportunity down.

According to Sam Amico of Amico Hoops, Williams chose to sign with the Cleveland Cavaliers over returning to the Knicks:

Derrick Williams was drawing strong interest from Knicks when Cavs presented 10-day offer, source says. Feels champs give him better chance. — Sam Amico (@AmicoHoops) February 9, 2017

Williams experienced the best season of his pro career in 2015-16 with the Knicks, when he averaged 9.3 points per game on a career-high 45.0 percent from the field off of the bench.

The former No. 2 overall pick probably made the best decision considering Cleveland is very likely headed to the Finals for the third consecutive season while the Knicks are likely to miss the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year.
