Knicks seem like a possibility, since they have Shumpert as a quality asset.
The Warriors, I always figured would look to trade David Lee, since he doesn't seem to be all that important to their success, but he's for more of a BIG move, not a move to get Lowry as their backup PG (although they could really use him).
My money's on the Knicks trading for Lowry. They really need a productive PG right now, and Felton is not it.

Actually Nets own the rights to one of the best European players, Bojan Bogdanovic, scoring leader of the EuroLeague. That could be interesting for Toronto. Teletovic might also be someone who could flourish in a new environment.
If I were the Nets I'd try to go after DeRozan instead of Lowry. Nets sorely need athleticism at SG.
DeRozan has 4 years and 38 mill remaining on his contract, so Toronto might want to trade him too.

I really hope that DeRozan does not get traded. He is a good scorer, great competitive spirit - has improved his long range shot from the three point line and gets to the basket regularly. Is he a franchise player? Absolutely not, but he is definitely a good piece to have on a strong team. Once the Raps got rid of Bargnani, Calderon and now Gay (and if they get rid of Lowry) they will not need to dump him to improve their roster. He can play a good role for this team as he has shown constant improvement throughout his time there.

He's redundant if we are blowing it up tho,by the time our (hopefully) high pick starts hitting his stride DD will be 27ish and on the last year of his contract. All the while probably winning us a few games we don't want to win.
Now do I suggest us sending him to the Nets for pure trash? Hells no but, I'd rather not have him and get something of value than keep him with no real purpose.

Hes going to be 25 when (if) we draft a franchise player. By the time the pick starts hitting his stride Derozan will be in the prime of his career. Dont see how thats a bad situation
