Position Breakdown

1- Paul only plays 32 to protect his knee, we sign Jack so Paul doesnt over work himself, Lin learns from 2 proven vets

2- Shumpert(with an improved jumper) and Lamb(instant offense and defensive energy) work an offense defense thing with Barnes playing some 2 also

3- Carmelo takes up most of the time at the 3 with Barnes, and the Williams boys coming in for offense or defense

4- STAT's minutes are watched close look for Phil to go with a Jordan/Nene combo at times along with some Shawne Williams at the 4 as a very poor mans Odom or Melo working out of the post

5- Nene and Jordan(Antonio Davis meets Tyson Chandler) working at the 5 giving the Knicks a top 5 front court
