    Just think. Had the Knicks failed to make the playoffs, things could have been drastically different right now.

    The Rockets and Raptors are working on something "innovative," source says, with lottery protection on 1st round pick returning to Houston.

    way to go moar, make moves that signify contending (Asik, Lin) then make a move indicating tanking (Lowry)

    Idk if maury understands this concept but you commit to one direction, this is baffling

    17 posts per day, quite a pace.

    Something tells me you've been here before. You're tanking this user ID too obviously and are going to end up blowing it on less funny trolling, getting bad value.

    Don't you want ot create a Dynasty? You have to be more patient.

    This is not good news until the offseason ends and we don't have traded our future away for a injury prone player (Gordon), selfish ego (Dwight) or whoever.

    So we're running with all power fowards + Asik. Hope I can still get my season tickets before they sell out.:rolleyes:

    We're getting a future lottery pick.

    Lowry wasn't going to carry this team anywhere anytime soon.

    At least we now have a clear direction.

    Gary Forbes isn't a power forward. Do you watch basketball?

    If the season started today Royce White would be our starting PG.

    Please...Morey is looking very mortal just about now. If there is a grand plan other than tanking, I would be shocked!

    I don't understand why we'd be lowballed.

    It isn't as though Lowry is a RFA or UFA or anything like that. Disgruntled as he might be, Lowry is still a player of the Houston Rockets.

    But really? Lowry for a draft pick? I really hope there is more to the trade.
