Lowry to the Knicks again?

[white men can't jump]

What about Nash's cap hit?

Could be well worth absorbing for Smart or Ennis, especially with Lowry gone. It is just one more year.

The Knicks make me laugh. All the time.

Most Knicks fans appear stupid & delusional. I refuse to laugh at stupid people.

Would hurt our ability to get a free agent though...

What about Nash's cap hit?

He's expiring at 9.7M. Perhaps medical retirement might give the Raps and even better relief (again, I could be wrong with this - not sure).

[Niagara Raptor]

if the knicks want to trade for lowry I think the price just went up ....hardaway jr, first round pick and we can relieve them of felton ( not that I want to trade lowry but if we do that is what I would accept )

Just don't think Masai will want that money sucked into an old, broken body, even for one year

So?
What FA? A PG?
Question: Would you rather have Smart (or Ennis) plus (possibly) Nash or Kyle? In each case around 9-11 Mil.
ps: If Nash retires, we might (correct me if I am wrong) get a injured player exemption?

We will likely have a hard time being big players in the free agent market as our team stands. No real opportunities until 2015 or 2016

It's the Lakers' 2014 1st round pick that's the key to this. Lakers will always be win-now mode anyway. They could get Lowry, get away from the Nash experiment and we get a nice first rounder. Again, I don't see Lakers going for this but is a heck of a deal for the Raps.

I guess you're right, just thinking every possibility

Its not like we are going to have major cap space next year, so your paying nash 9.7 M for one year and you can get a top 10 pick !

Maybe the Lakers could swallow their pride for once and go for the draft?

Nah, they're the Lakers. Never Tank. Always go for every big free agent because you're LA

He'd be a nice teacher to Ennis or Smart and maybe Vazquez if he sticks around. Could become an assistant as well, front office, who knows.

I wonder if Nash has ever expressed interest in coaching? I don't recall seeing that.

Why would LA give up their 2014 1st to TO? There is no logical reason to do this, unless you think Nash's contract is that debilitating to the Lakers that they would give up their pick to move him. I don't think they do this. If they want a decent young player to help fill the void when Kobe leaves, then their pick provides a very good opportunity to do so. Furthermore, if LA is going to give up their pick, then I bet they would want more back than Lowry.
