    people forget so quickly around here.... Lowry's body of work and price tag give him the edge

    I'd go with Lowry, a proven PG who is a tough defender.

    What's this infatuation with Lin? We got a lot of Linsane posters here.

    Dragic is my favorite out of the three. Lin is probably the most likely and my last choice.

    I've really liked Goran, but does it really matter who they end up with?

    What Morey and this staff has shown in his tenure is that they know PGs.

    - They draft Aaron Brooks late in the first and he becomes a good reserve, a "Most Improved Player" award winner and a nice starter.

    - They trade for a reserve player who no one was high on in Kyle Lowry. He too becomes a good bench player and emerges into a good starter and borderline All-star.

    - They trade Brooks for another reserve, Dragic, plus a 1st round pick. Goran too becomes a good backup and, when given the chance, progresses into a really good player himself that now is entertaining $8+ per year contracts from around the league.

    - Remember, they had Jeremy Lin here last season and had to cut him because they already had two good PGs and another with a guaranteed contract. We all saw flashes of the player Lin potentially could be at only 23 years old.

    So, I'm just going sit back and wait it out cause this staff is proven in finding good PGs to add to the roster.

    Wow hacked poll ? 2950 votes and 1700 page views

    I just hope we end up with one of the 3 and not Machado or Fortson

    Current Dragic or pre-flopping Lowry, when he would actually play real defense and look to penetrate and "finish" rather than flail.

    Dragic is not going to be signed here, Lowry will be traded, and NY will match Lin's offer. so none of them will play here next season. what is the poll for?

    Wow so many for Lin over Dragic?

    Dragic is clearly the best of the three. I guess I don't mind the Lin signing instead though.

    Holy cow this is a popular poll. Almost 3000 votes in 90 minutes. Looks like the Jeremy Lin fan club is in the house.

    Wait a minute, something looks a little fishy here.

    Dragic, Lowry...

    They are really offering Lin a contract..bc the Knicks too are in a bind with contracts...If the Knicks dont keep lin, they could face media trouble...but if they bring Nash..all worries are gone! Nash should really steer clear of such a dysfunctional team...I can see Melo(TMAC 2.0-with less talent) pouting the entire season...For the Knicks they are willing to gamble losing 2 young guards for an aging one...makes no sense...but thats why they are the Knicks

    Right now the Knicks are looking to do a S&T deal with the Suns for Nash(knicks give up shumpert, and etc)...

    Interesting how average fans figured out a way to vote in a forum poll. They seem to somehow be running away with it. :p

    Actually, I'm pretty surprised at the results to this point. Linsanity...

    I'll take Lowry.

    We are just creating the same situation with Brooks, just more expensive this time.

    Dragic is a good Player, probably more of a PG than Kyle, but not worth 10 mill. Lowry has to be traded if we sign dragic, which I think we won't.

    Lowry was on his way to being an Allstar last season but we are quick to forget that and just remember all this disgruntled chaos.

    My worry... Dragic signs elsewhere, Lin signs elsewhere, Lowry gets his wish and is traded, and our starting PG will be Fortson or Machado.

    See... it can get worse...

    Don't sign Lin. If Dragic walks so be it. We tank & rebuild. Whatever you do just don't sign the Asian Matt Maloney

    Gogi ... asks too much, though i cant see he gets what hes asking.
    Lowry ... unhappy with McHale, but McHale is not leaving.
    Lin ... just not as good as the two above.

    So, i take Gogi for our PG.

    I wish the OP hadn't included a poll. Looking at the results just caused me to lower my opinion of the collective IQ of "the masses" on this board to somewhere akin to the depth of the Titanic. Honestly, what are you people thinking? Answer? You aren't, with all due respect to just about everyone, apparently.
