I wonder if this was doctor-ordered or team-ordered.

So with the Beno signing, the depth chart looks like this:

PG Raymond Felton/Pablo Prigioni/Beno Udrih
SG Iman Shumpert/J.R. Smith
SF Carmelo Anthony/Metta World Peace
PF Andrea Bargnani/Amare Stoudemire
C Tyson Chandler/Kenyon Martin/Earl Barron

Would it be crazy of me to say that I like that line-up a little bit better than last season's Knicks? It's close, but I think they are a tad bit deeper with experience and talent.

The Beno signing give the Knicks 14 players signed for the 2013-14 season.
I would not say the Knicks roster are deeper or more experience in the 2013-14 season than they were in the 2012-13 season.
The Knicks had veteran-experience from "OLD-HEADS" to win 54 games easy from experience, not from young acrobatic talent or speed.

In the 2013-14 season HC Woodson does not have the long experience coaching-staff (Old-Heads) he had in the 2012-13 season that kept discipline in the lockerroom to prepare a winning strategy for each game.
Not to be pessimistic .. BUTT, I see the 2013-14 Knicks at it best being a 4th seed to 7th seed team.

Here are the EC 6 top teams we have to worry about:
1-Miami
2-Brooklyn
3-Indiana
4-Chicago (Rose return)
5-Detroit (Josh Smith & player/coach Billups)
6-Cavs (a healthy Varegao & Bynum)

DC is more like this:

PG Raymond Felton/Beno Udrih/Pablo Prigioni
SG Iman Shumpert/Pablo Prigioni/J.R. Smith/Tim Hardaway, Jr.
SF Metta World Peace/J.R. Smith/Carmelo Anthony/Iman Shumpert/Tim Hardaway, Jr./C. J. Leslie
PF Carmelo Anthony/Andrea Bargnani/Amare Stoudemire/Jeremy Tyler/C. J. Leslie
C Tyson Chandler/Kenyon Martin/Amare Stoudemire/Jeremy Tyler

I think the chances of Artest starting over Bargs are very, very slight unless there is an injury in play.

@ESPNSteinLine: Knicks to announce front-office shakeup that will see ex-MSG prez Steve Mills return in place of Glen Grunwald.
This is what happens when you trade for Andrea Bargnani.
