Lowry is a winner and still a very capable player. He has a game that will age well and was an older rookie, so the mileage isn't as bad as one may think.

Im sure a lot of Phoenix fans may have had a similar thought last summer when they traded for Paul. I know that was the feeling here when CP3 was brought up.

Lowry is going to cost 30 million a year for probably 2 - 3 years. Not to mention he's 35 years old. IDK how much Derrick Rose wants, but he's definitely gonna be way cheaper than Lowry.

This thread is one big emotional gossip circle. Might as well be lipstick alley. That’s why these dudes post so many Knicks rumors


I just like to complain :D

Kyle Lowry younger than Obi, I don't see a problem with it.

Other than he's signing with the Pelicans, of course.

Ahhh... I see it's my favorite time of year. Draft/Free Agency Hysterics!

It's the time of year when:

- RealGM posters overreact to every rumor and Twitter story created, no matter how farfetched, unrealistic, or untrue it might be.

- Posters downplay every player rumored to be headed to the KNICKS as "trash" and unworthy.

- Other posters begin the "We-Won't-Get-Anybody" conversation and call every rumor impossible just so they can say "See, I told you so" and be seen as right when it all doesn't come true.


Oh, to be a KNICKS fan! :roll: :lol:

I’m sorry to beat a dead horse, we are not developing. All we are trying to do is win as many games as possible. I don’t think that the right approach. How Obi and knox didn’t play 25 mins a game is just insane to me. For what to gives minutes to bullock , burks and Noel who probably won’t be back. Wtf are we doing


Going to the playoffs that is what we are doing for now on. A team that won 40+ games and lost in the first round is progress. To make it to the second round is always the next goal. No matter. I don't want to play Obi 25 minutes a game to see what if like Knox 1st year. Obi played about 10 minutes. Played big playoff minutes. Few of the best alley oops of my lifetime. Obi chants and his mom tears gave me chills. Obi loves being here. Obi can get 15-20 minutes next year and everyone will be happy.


Correct the goal is show improvement year to year and one day be a successful team. Do you think randle is better than greak freak, embid, trey , Durant ? Those are the four we need to get pass to get the second round.

I would every say bulls Lavine and Voch or Tatum and brown are better. So what we 8th next year?
Do you think we are bringing back all of rose , noel, bullock and berks?

We have always been a team that can build the foundation and always look for short cut. That just who we are because we are entitled

How do you think we get better next year? Maybe I’m missing something


The Knicks can use part of their cap space to acquire 1st and 2nd rounders along with players that make the team better. Wiggins and Bagley are better targets than Kevin Love. Find fits to the roster like a wing or lead guard. Knicks have a lot of cap space.

The Knicks are developing RJ Barrett, Quickley, Obi Toppin, Mitch Robinson well.

Golden state like Wiggins they won’t trade him to save on luxury cap. I agree bagels would be nice but with Obi and randle here he won’t play.

Obi playing 10 mins a game is not development
Obi just sitting at the three point line is not development
I still think quickly minutes was impacted by rose but yes he played
Rj yes

I still knox should got 25 mins a game.he was shooting light out this year. Miss opportunity

The team was winning. Knox sucks. It's more than shooting the corner 3 well. You want Obi to do more and applaud Knox for it being the one thing he's good at. I want Randle to get a few more minutes of rest and Obi to play 15-20 mpg as back up. Earn the minutes.

Knox sucks based on what? The 10 mins he got last year or the 10 games he played this year. The kid was one youngest players drafted, won rookie of the month and averaged 13 a game and just got worst. I’m sure the Knicks had no part in that. Like they had no part in the success on Frank and smith jr

Fizdale pacified Kevin Knox with more minutes than good for. Knox didn't get worse the Knicks got better. Knox was always slow to spots with big feet and bad reaction time. Knox is good for a corner 3 and a rare cut to the basket. At least Obi sets pretty good screens, hustles and rebounds.

He doesn’t have lateral quickness and his defense is not good at all. Comparable to d to Mike Porter jr, bertan , and cam Johnson . He really should defend the four. But offensy the kid is smooth athletic, can shooting, can take to the basket, can hit floaters. We really failed him, if you don’t see that, you should watch games and not look at stats

It's been reported that Reggie is expected to get 10 mill for year, or around there. Contracts like that are important for trade purposes as well. Its tough to make good trades will rookie scale contracts and big money contracts exclusively

Yeah I think 2/23 or like 3/34 (with a team option) would be fine for Reggie and helpful to make future deals work.
