    Take this for what it's worth.

    Knicks dangling Felton and possibly Shumpert for Lowry.

    Re: Raps talking to Knicks about Lowry for Felton+ trade

    NY media imploring Knicks not to give away Hardaway Jr. Knicks have a history of being worked by Ujiri in trades...

    Re: Raps talking to Knicks about Lowry for Felton+ trade

    The Nets are also interested in Lowry. A trade to either of those teams works nicely. Ujiri is a fucking genius if he's able to dump our bad contracts (including Fields) and simultaneously improve the other teams we're fighting in the lottery (more like having a battle of futility).

    The Nets have nothing to offer unless for some reason we like Mason Plumlee. Odds are it'd take another team to deal with them.

    GSW is also interested in Lowry. They have more assets.

    Tough situation for Knicks: With no first-round pick to add, NYK could be confronted w/unsavory option of putting Tim Hardaway Jr. in deal

    Re: Raps talking to Knicks about Lowry for Felton+ trade

    Should be noted that picking up Felton doesn't make sense for the Raps unless they move him to a third team in the deal.

    The Lakers just lost Steve Blake for two months and could really use Lowry but they don't have much to offer. They still have their '14 first IIRC.

    Y! Sources: As Toronto widens talks on Kyle Lowry, Knicks inclined to add 2018 first-round pick to get a deal done. http://yhoo.it/JjDdvi

    Re: Raps talking to Knicks about Lowry for Felton+ trade

    Basically the Knicks and Raps are at an impasse because the Knicks won't include Shumpert or Hardaway in the deal. They are willing to trade Felton (trash), MWP (trash), and their 2018 1st (good if we're patient), but won't include one of the two aforementioned players. I don't see the Raps jumping on a deal for two veterans and a delayed first.
