    By tossing alley-oop passes to Trob with the 2nd unit.

    If that's the case, I definitely wouldn't want him.

    I would LOVE to get Dre back though.

    Yeah same, I don't think Denver really needs him either.

    Not sure what we could give up though. Mo and Claver?

    I wouldn't give up Mo for Dre. We need three point shooting in this offense.

    The idea would be to replace Mo with CJ in terms of overall scoring off the bench.

    How would that happen with Dre getting Mo's minutes?

    All things being equal Toronto would rather send him to a team like BKN or NYC than PDX or GSW. Helps our lottery chances.

    For the record Lowry's attitude in Toronto has been pretty outstanding.

    Dre wouldn't get all of Mo's minutes. Mo is currently playing around 25 minutes per game. Dre doesn't need to play that much.

    The latest is Felton, MWP, and the Knicks' 2018 1st for Lowry, with MWP being sent to another team (presumably). The deal can't be done until the 15th.

    One of those trades that I wouldn’t make if we had Dre and I wouldn’t make since we have Mo.

    With a winning team we are better off keeping the guys we have than take the risk of upgrading a player. I only want to see a trade during the season if we get a big improvement.

    Dre is good at setting up an offense but he doesn’t play well without the ball. With Batum, LaMarcus, Lillard our role players need to be effective without the ball. While Mo is handling the ball at the moment he could be effective as a floor spacer when the team needs more of that during the playoffs.

    Yeah we are not giving up a pick so I’d rather see NY be the one on the other end of that deal. Great deal for Toronto.

    Will the NY teams ever stop trading away their picks? Outside of the elite superstars draft picks are the most valuable asset in the NBA. Those Knicks and Nets teams continue to trade away their future for desperate hopes of winning now.

    The NY teams have been so great for the rest of the NBA. They don’t ever field legitimate contenders, and they give up their most valuable assets to build promising futures in Boston, Atlanta, Portland, Denver and now Toronto. They have revenue sharing for their massive TV deals that pay smaller markets like us and they pay all the other teams huge luxury tax payments. THANK YOU NEW YORK!

    Can you imagine our team if we had Gerald Wallace instead of Damian Lillard? I wouldn't give executive of the year to Neil Olshey, I think Billy King deserves it.

    Stein says that the Raps are looking for more than A-Dub reported...


    Marc Stein ✔ @ESPNSteinLine
    And at last report, Toronto was said to be seeking TWO of the following three: Shumpert, Hardaway Jr., Future First. A bit pricey, I'd say

    Knicks fans are losing it at RealGM, BTW.

    Hahaha, that other trade would be much better. Shumpert, Hardaway, and a future first. I would do that one.

    Ahh I didn't put it together before; he got so many assets from them in the Melo deal when working for Denver.

    The Knicks won't improve until they get a new owner. Dolan sucks.

    I was starting to be impressed with the roster before they signed Amare, they had a lot of interesting young assets and cap flexibility. Dolan couldn’t stop himself from somehow finding a way to turn it into a repeat of Zeke’s reign.

    It's funny because Bill Simmons mentioned it, but Amare looks like Uncle Drew now. That dude aged 10 ten years over the course of one summer.
