"On the list of mid-range free agents who will pique the Knicks' interest is defensive guard Raja Bell, a former Sun and a coach Mike D'Antoni favorite.

There's a chance the Knicks could give Bell a late-season tryout. According to an Oakland Tribune report, the Warriors could waive Bell, who is recovering from left wrist surgery, because they need a roster spot. Bell probably wouldn't be healthy until the final four games.

Asked if he would consider it, team president Donnie Walsh told The Post, "If we did do something like that, it would be to show we liked him.""
