Kyle Lowry-to-Knicks trade that was vetoed by James Dolan may have helped them make playoffs
The Knicks finished with 37 wins, one behind eighth-place Atlanta. Just two wins would have earned the Knicks a playoff spot. A trade with Toronto Raptors for Lowry could have made a difference.

“At the time decisions were made, choices were made,” Lowry told the Daily News. “I don’t know what happened but I think I would have helped (the Knicks). Either way, I was going to help somebody. Our organization and our GM did a great job in making a decision to keep me. And we got 48 wins.”

Lowry also picked a good time to have his best season. He’ll be a free agent this summer and will be one of the more attractive players on the market. The Knicks, however, won’t have available cap space to make a run at him.
“For me personally, I think I’m going to have a great year every year,” Lowry said. “I want to keep getting better. I’m not satisfied with just one great year.”

NY media is hilarious. They were panning the rumoured trade at time saying Knicks giving up too much. Now they are taking back handed shots at Dolan suggesting they should have done it. Knobs.
