The Raptors and Knicks are reportedly "trying to construct a deal" that would send Kyle Lowry to New York.

Not surprised, they just picked up Vasquez. Wonder what the Knicks will offer, Lowry's been pretty good.

After Toronto raided the knicks in exchange for bargnani, the knicks have nothing left!

well, they had success in plundering the Knicks already, so why not try again?

It's assumed that Felton will be the main piece heading north. But there's got to be some filler to balance the numbers.

And if I'm Toronto, I think I'd rather have Lowry's expiring than Felton. Perhaps another team will be roped into brokering a deal.

I'm not sure if Lowry helps the Knicks much, if at all, though.

Why would Toronto want Felton if they have Vasquez? Why not go for Shumpert together with Hardaway Jr.?

Adding Hardaway still doesn't quite get it done. Knicks need to send out a little more payroll.

I'm surprised Toronto wouldn't have interest in Shumpert. Unless they think that a DeRozan-Shump wing combination just can't work.

I guess the knicks could offer Felton, shumpert, and the right to swap firsts in 2015 with Toronto.

I would rather just keep shumpert and Felton. Their team will look better when chandler gets back. But.... Dolan is never about patience.

That'll solve New York's problems.

the Knicks are so screwed with their lack of draft picks that there is no way they should include the right to swap picks in a deal, which means they will probably go ahead and do that

This has made sense for too long.

Fat Boy Felton is awful and usually out of shape.

Toronto is clearly blowing it up and tanking hard.

Kyle Lowry is talented, plays hard nosed gritty basketball, and more importantly, HE ACTUALLY PLAYS DEFENSE!

I think a Felton/Hardaway or Shumpert deal would get it done.

Win/win for both teams if you ask me.

Felton hurt his hamstring again supposed and has been bad/gimpy all year.

Still I don't see what the Knicks have to offer at this point.
