Potential trade destinations for Lowry: Dec.12 - NY a match?

Shumpert fans, exhale: I'm told chances of him going to TOR in a Lowry deal are slim. Raps not high on him. Knicks prefer to keep (for now).

Then back off of the trade unless you can get a thee way trade going....

Not surprised. He seems like a headcase as well. Not to mention injury prone.

That would mean Hardaway Jr & filler & future 1st round pick (in addition to Felton)?

That's not as tempting. We are already really jammed packed in the SG position...

Its like reporters Stein and Beck are in on conversations via speakerphone in the Knicks offices. Lol...what a ship!

Thank God. Not high on Shumpert here, either. Although the momentary idea that Hardaway Jr. could be sent back was enticing.

Hopefully this was just one of those 'stir the market' rumours to up his return.

Not if you assume DeRozan is next up on Toronto's trade block.

[Blacklash2k4]

Hard to believe they can't get something more than this for Lowry. He's a great asset.

The problem is that all the teams that really need a PG or backup PG don't have much to offer that is available...

Don't worry about fit on the Raptors. Right now we're just trying to get valuable assets in return for guys that are gonna leave anyways. Hardaway Jr. and future first are great assets. Hell, even an expiring Felton next season is a decent asset (helpful to match salaries).

True... Don't really want him to go though. It's kinda hard to find someone who is dedicated to Toronto, pretty good and has a good work ethic...

That's why I'm hoping Miami and Chicago get in on this Lowry trade talk. They could give us the 2014 pick we covet.

All these rumours and tweets.....very un-Masai.

Felton still has three years left on his contract.

True, but very NYK.

I dont know. I think MU wants a 2014 1st round pick. So i'm guessing this trade would have to be a 3 team trade to make everyone happy lol.

Unless dd or Amir are the pieces to return a 2014

[ceez]

I can't see MU taking back Felton in any shape or form, regardless of what else comes with. Felton's a known cancer. MU's teams are built around smarts, grit and guys playing for each other. Nevermind his contract (tho small) is for another 3 years.

I'm guessing he told them they can have Lowry but they need to find a third team to make it happen.
