The New York Knicks are trying everything.
Not only are they attempting to convince the Denver Nuggets to trade them power forward Kenneth Faried in exchange for guard Iman Shumpert, but now they are revisiting a scenario from earlier in the season.
The Knicks are in fact interested in Toronto's Kyle Lowry. Classic Knicks. Could have had him two months ago, backed out now want him again.

Lowry has had an excellent season and the Knicks have been desperate for a point guard, so a deal does make sense… for the Knicks.
With Toronto poised to win the Atlantic how can management trade the point guard who has been the Raptors best player?

Isola is exactly right.
Plus, NBA.com’s David Aldridge reported the Raptors were likely to hang on to Lowry for the rest of the season, make a run in the playoffs and see how things play out in the offseason.
This season, averaging 16.6 points, 7.4 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game while shooting 42.9% from the field, 39.1% from beyond the arc and 79.6% from the free throw line.
