How will Jason Kidd, Raymond Felton and Pablo Prigioni man the point guard spot now vacated by Jeremy Lin? Will Marcus Camby and Kurt Thomas provide enough depth and grit up front as they return to the Knicks?

Who's the starting shooting guard now that Ronnie Brewer, J.R. Smith and (eventually) Iman Shumpert are all reasonable candidates?

Will the Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire pairing finally live up to potential now that they'll have a full offseason together, stability at the head coach position and a positive Olympic experience for 'Melo?

What scheme changes will Mike Woodson make to accommodate all these new pieces? How long will it take this team to find its groove?

Finally, have the Knicks done enough to fend off the Brooklyn Nets for the keys to the city? Have they moved past the Chicago Bulls, Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers as Eastern Conference elite? Do they have enough to realistically challenge the Miami Heat?
