A source close to unrestricted free agent Chris Andersen said the power forward is open to signing for the veteran's minimum. That's all the Knicks can offer, and they could use a seasoned backup for Amare Stoudemire who knows how to score inside, rebound and block shots.
There's no word yet if Andersen, 34, is interested in the Knicks, who don't comment publicly on any free agents.

It's worth noting, though, that Andersen is a client of CAA, which also represents five Knicks: coach Mike Woodson, Carmelo Anthony, J.R. Smith, his younger brother, Chris, and new acquisition Ronnie Brewer.
While the Knicks' roster stands at 15 -- the most players a team can have come opening night -- they could add Andersen right now to their books. That's because it's very likely that Chris Smith will start the season in the D-League. Perhaps Chris Copeland as well.
