According to multiple reports, Beno Udrih has decided to sign with New York on a one-year deal for the veteran minimum (Al Iannazzone of Newsday was first).

[Who]

Good addition. It'll be interesting to see how much he plays with Ray Felton and Pablo Prigioni at lead guard + Iman Shumpert and JR Smith at off guard.

Surprised Udrih couldn't find a more regular for a strong team somewhere else.

The Knicks reported went after him hard but had only the vet min to offer. Maybe they promised him a significant role.

[Who]

G - R.Felton, Prigioni, B.Udrih, B.Brown
G - I.Shumpert, JR Smith, T.Hardaway
F - C.Anthony, R.Artest
F - A.Bargnani, A.Stoudemire
C - T.Chandler, K.Martin, J.Tyler

G - I.Shumpert, JR Smith, T.Hardaway
F - C.Anthony, R.Artest
F - A.Bargnani, A.Stoudemire
C - T.Chandler, K.Martin, J.Tyler

Good on paper. With low pressure on Bargnani that front court could be impressive and I think they compliment each other well.

I wouldn't be surprised if Udrih ends up being the primary back up.  I like him.  If Smith isn't healthy to start the season I could maybe see them playing 2 point guards at once with Felton guarding the 2 guard.

I also think Udrih will be the primary backup for sure. Prigioni didn't exactly do a great job last year, and doesn't have much promise. The Knicks really went hard after Udrih because they don't have confidence in Prigioni or even Felton too much.
