Then the Knicks should end the call after saying, "thanks, but no thanks".

I'd like Lowry, but we can't keep gift wrapping these 1st rounders.

I don't want to give up another friggin' first rounder...I wouldn't hate a Shump/Felton package in light of THJ's great play and Shump being wildly inconsistent this year...Lowry is a clear upgrade to Felton and intriguing at least...but I'm not sold that he'd make us THAT much better.

Big idea here -- they probably would love to dump Fields. So just give them cap junk and take back Fields and Lowry.

Doing Shumpert would be stupid.


Nope! Hell no to Fields, but reacquiring Novak is fine.

lol you serious....ill tkae Fields>>>> Novak


Fields is a scrub, NOVAK can atleast spread the floor.

They are the same type of player.


Dude is 15 and 7 with 36% from 3 and plays D. Definitely much better than Felton. Just not a great playmaker. Does all else well, including being a jerk.


36% is not very good. It's simply average. It's also his career high as he's never been a good 3 point shooter.

Lowry's FG% is awful and he is a hoot first of like Felton. The only thing he has over Felton is athleticism. But Lowry is not that much better than Felton. Raptors fans will tell you the same thing.

:clap: :clap: :clap:

Some of us in here agree.

He's better than Felton but he doesn't make us significantly better. If you look at Felton's whole career and compare it to Lowry's you'll easily see the similarities. I'd love Lowry here as a backup but him starting and being the PG of the future for us? :lol: :lol:

so, not gonna be that easy.

I wonder why the Warriors are that interested. Maybe Klay for Lowry and assets so they can move Curry to the 2?

Even then, I would not even make that trade. Klay and Curry aren't great defensively but the Warriors should aim higher than that imo.

lmao. You cant be serious

Lowry's tougher & a better defender. Plus he's better in pretty much everything else.

If that's what you think then you haven't really watched Lowry.

let's stop thinking short term. Let this season burn out as is. Collect whatever picks and young assets on good contracts on trades. Lowry is another dead end.
