    And his team is playing well too -- not just empty stats. Pretty impressive.

    Yeah noticed that. Living up to the lottery pick. Good trade by Toronto.

    Even if that's true, there's no denying the fact that if he keeps this level of play and Toronto is at 4th spot come All-Star break, he might be in consideration for East coaches pick for the ASG.

    Yes, and Masai Ujiri just asked the Knicks/Nets for two first-round picks. :grin:

    :confused:

    Lowry had his first really good season immediately after signing this contract and his averages this season are not far from that.

    Part of it is they got rid of Rudy Gay, which opens up a ton of shots and completely changes that team.

    32-11-8 against the Knicks.

    They beat OKC in OKC and Dallas in Dallas. OKC was healthy too with Westbrook.

    Raptors are legit ever since trading Gay.

    The prospect of getting traded to the Knicks got him all pumped up. He's showcasing himself to speed up the process :).

    I didn't say that he isn't playing good but a contract year always is an incentive. I saw the second game between Raptors and Knicks and he was very good but he played against Toure Murray.

    Rudy Gay had 30.3 Usage rate % , so KL has more freedom right now . Good for him.

    Nope.

    The Knicks refused a Raptors proposal that would've included Iman Shumpert and Felton, sources told Yahoo Sports. Without a first-round pick or Shumpert, there is no traction for a deal. The Knicks have no appetite for including Shumpert or rookie Tim Hardaway Jr. in a package.

    Knicks owner Jim Dolan is sensitive to the public perception that Toronto general manger Masai Ujiri bamboozled New York in the Carmelo Anthony trade, and the chance of getting panned for giving up too much in a deal for Lowry has become a hurdle in these talks, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

    Don't forget he already got bamboozled for the Andreas trade.

    I got him in my fantasy team about 2 weeks ago! He was struggling so I bought low on him!


    Team is 8-1 so far :)
