Pretty much. Love P&T!

The 3 way deal w/ Shump heading to ATL, Lowry to Knicks, ATL 1st rounder to Toronto would still be a risky move if Lowry were to stay (he's out quite a bit) or leave after the year.

Yeah, was just reading that Ferry is not too pleased with Teague's contract. If thats the case, Ferry is not taking back long contracts (no Felton or JR), so Chandler may be able to get it done, but I do not like the idea of giving up a big for a small straight up. Need something else back...maybe a pick....

Tyson makes double of that Teague makes. So they would have to had filers or make the trade bigger.

Tyson for Teague, Brand and some sprinkles

Starting Tyler, Melo, Bargs, Teague and Thjr with Amare and jr smith off the bench is damn good. If the kicks could make that happen we will be fine going forward.

Shump does have ties to the Atlanta area from his Georgia Tech days. The Hawks would know him better than any other team. Maybe they see something we don't.

They see something that Shump refuses to show us. Shump is very talented but he is just a mentally weak minded player. If a change of scenery can help him then it would be in the benefit of both the Knicks and Hawks.

Ok so why don't we just cut out the Raptors? If ATL is willing to give up a first then why the Knicks isn't trying to get that pick. Felton and Shump for JT and pick is much better for the Knicks then getting Lowry. IMO

Same here. Trading THJ would signify a lack if plan going forward, a push for the nearest instant gratification which is a useless playoff seeding with no eyes to the future.

Much easier to get shooters then to get get a playmaking 2 way PG.

why? He's a nice catch and shoot player right now. Shooters are nice to have. He's shown very little else in his game. High IQ for sure, but this notion the guy is untouchable is over the top. Kind of like how Landry Fields was a couple years ago.

He has so much upside that's why. He still needs to develop more but you can tell this guy has the skillset to take the next step.

teague is owed $8 mil a year for the next 3 years after this one.

as a raptors fan...i am really not sure what is going to happen with lowry.

is ujiri just doing due diligence and that's what all these trade discussions are - just seeing what's out there?
or does he believe lowry is not the long term answer for us (and by us i mean raptors)?
or has lowry indicated his contract demands and ujiri doesn't want to match them?
but he's a major personality that clashes with all his coaches. but i don't think that's a big enough scare to pass on him.

i'm hoping the raptors get something of real value if they move him - and that means picks + young players or an upgrade in talent.

i am not a fan of teague so i don't want him. but he's accompanied by hardaway jr and a pick, then i wouldn't mind as much. even tho i think hardaway is basically a catch and shoot player right now without any defense.

Aha Now you speak grasshopper!

I thought this new GM was assured Lowry would sign and stay in Toronto, the GTA needed him for the Raptors to keep winning.

NOW YOU CHANGE YOUR TUNE. HE's nt signing with those fakers.

well number 1 - when has anyone ever said ujiri assured lowry of anything? where did you read that? from me? please provide a link.

number 2, nothing has happened.

number 3 - i said in my previous posts about lowry is that letting him walk still isn't the end of the world for us.

number 4 - if you read the latest articles, there is still beef between him and casey...so new intel says he's still a bit of a malcontent.

number 5 - nothing has happened.
