Marc Berman of the New York Post reports: Could P.J. Brown and his rebounding be headed to the Garden this offseason?

The free agent-to-be isn't ruling anything out.

"No doors are going to be closed on anybody," Brown told The Post. "I'm familiar with the area, with New Jersey for three years. I wouldn't have a problem with that at all. A lot more people up there like me than they want to put on. I have a lot of love for New York."

A lot will depend on how much the Hornets are willing to offer him.

If they offer Brown a multi-year deal that starts above the projected Mid-Level Exception, which is expected to be around $4.7-to-$5 million this offseason, he will probably re-sign in New Orleans. However, if they don't, Brown's services are up for grabs.

Knicks head coach Don Chaney said some nice things about Brown.

"P.J. Brown, he doesn't get the ink he should get," said Don Chaney. "He makes shots. I've always had a great deal of respect for him but I really respect his offense more now. You used to double and not rotate to him. Now you have to rotate to him."

For the season, Brown is averaging 10.8 points, 9 rebounds, and a tad over a block per game.
