Re: NY question
the first 8 players will always get minutes. the other 2 guys will depend on matchups, rookies, health. i think mason will be be the 9th man. i dunno anything about their rookies so i could be wrong, but on a fringe playoff team he should be an ok fantasy player

Re: NY question
As a knick fan, i'm glad to be of service. Mason Jr. will probably not get much burn, if any with toney douglas backing felton up.
Danilo is the surest bet out of the players you listed. He will get minutes at sf, and knick fans, as well as others, are expecting a bit of a breakout with the addition of amare. Danilo could get a shade under 20 points a game, maybe 5 boards a game, a few 3's and maybe a block and a steal a game...maybe.
Chandler and Azu should be talked about together. All indication is chandler will start at sg for the knicks, however dantoni will probably just play the hot hand and could start chandler one day and azu the next. Chandler will still get his numbers, while imo, azu is a bit of a mystery. He is supposed to be fine before the season begins but all signs indicate chandler is the man for now.
Walker is going to be in the second unit along with toney, azu or chandler, and a combo of randolph, mozgov and turiaf. He will do fine for the knicks, but in a 12 team league, probably has little relevance

Re: NY question
At least to start out the season I think it will look like this:
Turiaf(22)/Amare(19)/Mozgov(7) - This is the position im the most unsure of.
Amare(17)/Randolph(27)/Gallinari(4)
Gallinari(30)/Chandler(12)/Fields(6)
Chandler(16)/Mason Jr.(18)/Douglas(6)/Fields(6) - Azabuike should come back soon...
Felton (35)/Douglas(13)
D'Antoni said he thought he would start out with 10 or 11 guys in the rotation, I think 10 is more likely, and Mozgov/Turiaf will be fighting for minutes, Fields/MasonJr./Douglas will be fighting for minutes, and when Azabuike gets back, some of his minutes will go to whoever is underperforming. I think its Roger Masons job to lose, but I expect him to lose it to Douglas and eventually Fields (who is going to be a solid player in many 3s, steals, and shooting if he gets the minutes).
