Sergio Rodriguez feels the Knicks are his number one option heading into free agency.

?They want me for next year, but they are waiting to see what they do with the rest (of free agents),? Rodriguez said. ?I spoke with Donnie  (Walsh) in my exit interview. He was happy with what I had done. It was a positive conversation. They were very positive in that it sounded like they wanted me for next year.?

Rodriguez is also drawing interest from top European teams like Real Madrid and Valencia Basket, but expects to remain in the NBA.

?It seems like I?m going to be there in early July to see what I do,? Rodriguez said. ?I want to make a decision soon whether it is to stay or leave (for Europe).?
