Raps trying to trade us Lowry...

[Brooklyn_Yards]

That ship has sailed with Shump playing like garbage and Dragic playing out of his mind.

We didn't we go after Dragic earlier?

Whyyyyyyy?

I doubt Phoenix was doing Shumpert for Dragic even if they like Shumpert.

Not straight up but after the aquired Bledsoe we could've MAYBE done, Felton (good playoff series) + Shump (sins had interest) + fillers + Picks for Dragic + fillers before we pulled the trigger on Bargs.

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).

When you look at all the stuff this team does badly, it's the stuff that isn't as bad that stands out.

how about arguably the teams biggest weakness, defending opposing pg's?

felton can't do it to save his life, lowry can.

I take it you haven't seen Lowry play defense the past few years. Take it from someone who has watched him a lot, his D has regressed badly. He gambles a lot and just plays inconsistently. Another big weakness is ball movement, and Lowry is really bad in the PnR compared to other PGs.

I'd salivate at that trade. Afflalo would be perfect here...and that's why it won't happen.

He's a great defender and he became a very good offensive player too. Melo would hardly get double teamed because Aaron would make them pay each time.

The Magic do this trade why?

They wouldn't. I bolded that it won't happen.

I apologize, I actually meant to respond to the person you quoted.

Felton Aldrich and 2018 pick swap for Lowry!

Is this it?

No i just thought of it.

[Moose]

Felton and JR for Lowry.

Addition by subtraction.

Why would the Craptors trade for two currently injured players? I don't see any trades till after Chandler comes back.

you just answered your own question

Shump needs an attitude adjustment

Or perhaps a new coach?

I'm not saying Woodson is to blame for all of his struggles, but it seems silly to give up on a guy completely when he is playing for a guy that is a lame duck at this point anyway.

He plays 30 minutes a game. It's shump's own fault he isnt playing well. Just look at the difference between the Nets and Magic games versus the last two. He's too inconsistent

[Fury]

Meant last season.

You sure do love to troll, don't you? For a guy (you) who is always wrong on everything he says you sure do love to show your arrogance.

Coming from a guy who says he's almost never wrong. Gotcha.

Am I lying? You tell me, Basketball God.

I say the facts and I'm usually proven right. You insult people like me and are always proven wrong. Who is the one who is being arrogant here? The instigator or someone like me speaking the truth? Don't disappear again when you're wrong about Lowry.

Dude, I just pointed out two different times when you're wrong, and that's insulting the al mighty Mr. Perfect? Keep doing Perfectplexes in the after life, bro. You're done here.

THJR is the new great player around here while shumpert is the get rid of player

It makes sense though. Shumpert has a serious injury history, has not advanced his play, and is closer to coming off his rookie deal than THJR.

so it makes trading a guy who's nearing his rookie deal for a guy who's expiring?

that's not stupid.

At a position of severe need? It's not stupid.

Lowry, DeRozan, Amir and our 1st back for Melo.

[ORANGEandBLUE]

Shump needs an attitude adjustment

Translation: Shump needs to sign with CAA and accept his role as JR Smith's waterboy.

Thats not good news. That means were moving either hardway which I dont want to do OR another pick which i deff dont want to do.

Felton Aldrich and 2018 pick swap for Lowry!

Be realistic

We didn't we go after Dragic earlier?

Whyyyyyyy?

I doubt Phoenix was doing Shumpert for Dragic even if they like Shumpert.

Not straight up but after the aquired Bledsoe we could've MAYBE done, Felton (good playoff series) + Shump (sins had interest) + fillers + Picks for Dragic + fillers before we pulled the trigger on Bargs.

That would have been a good time to do it, but unrealistic because the Knicks as an organization would still be satisfied with their PG play because of Feltion's good series vs Boston.

Ray, MWP, 2 pick swaps?

[damedash09]

massai will now get timmy off the Knicks hands because they so badly need to acquire Kyle Lowry.

[sol537]

If we trade for Lowry giving up a guy like Shump or THjr, then that tells me the 2015 plan isn't really a priority for us. I think we're going to go the Nets/Knicks route of rebuilding by trading expiring contracts and/or picks for long-term deals for players other teams no longer want. I'm not saying such a practice *can't* work... just that it hasn't worked all that well yet for too many teams, especially the Knicks.

I think we're going to get Lowry and re-sign him. Then we're going to trade Amare's contract next season for a long-term deal. And we'll re-sign Chandler and 'Melo.

I think 2015 (Rondo or Love or Gasol) is a pipe-dream to be honest.

Anyone who suggesting a pick swap or the moving of anymore picks needs to go jump off a bridge.
