It may not take Chris 'Birdman' Andersen to find another home with reports that the New York Knicks are interested in the former Nugget. Andersen, who was in the news for the wrong reasons towards the end of the last season, has not made any public comment on the matter but according to the player's high-school coach, Birdman is interested in signing with New York for the veterans minimum.

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 Chris Smith's contract is partially guaranteed, which means, in this case, he's only signed for training camp. In technical terms, Smith is not an NBA player yet. The Knicks will likely release him before the season starts, and then work with their D-League team, the Erie BayHawks, to sign him separately.

Also, keep in mind, that a team has no restrictions on the number of players it can invite to training camp, which starts in late September.
