He for 2 months is playing his heart out for a new contract. Is he that good? I wouldn't give up THJ

The New York Knicks are again interested in Kyle Lowry.

The Knicks were close to a trade for Lowry in December, but backed out of talks prior to a surge by Lowry and the Toronto Raptors. The Knicks and Raptors were discussing a trade involving Raymond Felton, Metta World Peace and a first round pick.

Lowry has been one of the NBA's best point guards over the past two months.

Lowry will be a free agent this offseason and the Raptors are unlikely to re-sign him.

Toronto's owner will never do a deal now.

Probably not with the Knicks, but if Lowry is walking at seasons end they why wouldn't he sell high? Lowry's value is indisputably at an all time high at the moment.

A few points

A. Toronto has won the Atlantic division 1 time in their whole NBA life an has not made a playoffs in 6 years. As an owner why would you trade what has to be a PG who is playing at close to an all star level at this point in the season for a bag of 2nd tier goods?

B. Free agency next season isnt that good. Few teams have massive cap space. The raptors can give Lowry a 5th year--likely more $ than anyone else so they have as much chance as anyone to sign him if they choose to--or they can S+T him probably better than what the Knicks can offer.

1)Not too many teams are in the need of a pg in the nba today, which is why no team is banging on the rapters door.

2)As good as lowry is, every current contender is set at PG, every rebuilding team is set at pg, the chance of him staying in toronto pass this yr is a joke, i don't care if they throw a 5th yr in..no one volunteers to play there

3)There's no question lowry makes this team and roster much better, and can be a plus next to melo, barg, ty, and amre for this season and next.

4) why wouldn't lowry want to play in NY next to a sure super star.

this is the one trade i would give up a draft pick because felton and shump are playing horrible and there inconsistent play is brutal at times..

Fair points but everything I read notes that the Raptors are determined to trade Lowry. I guess well see what happens in a week or so.

Lowry a great player, but, until Melo situation resolved, wouldn't make any changes to coaching staff or roster. Once NYK - or Melo - decide - then significant changes required.

I tried to tell DJ but he's hard headed.

Toronto aren't trying to change the culture, there ONLY interest is to use up hot players & make the most money for as less (paying out) as possible. Toronto has no history of wanting to continue to win long term.
