Knicks Targeting Kyle Lowry In Free Agency… (TKR Live) | Knicks News

so really the the the next topic I want to get into really the main topic because I I love talking about this stuff it is almost the offseason and really talking about the Knicks offseason plans really their trade targets last when we spoke we threw out a lot of names it’s funny now looking back at some of those names some of the names are no longer relevant anymore while some might still be relevant one of the players we talked about last time I think it caused a a fireball throughout the uh Knicks Twitter Nation when you said Zion Williamson and the Knicks had checked in on Zion at the time and uh right right and obviously you know seeing what happened with this year we had a phenomenal year unfortunately went down with injury in the playoffs and I think if he had played New Orleans would have went really far because he was having such a sensational season so I just wanted to know based off of things that you’re hearing because I know obviously you still have people well connected in the Knicks that you talk to that you know um what are you hearing in regards to the Knicks uh potential trade targets that they’re looking at right now and potential free agency plans yeah well with Zion I mean you know he Al had the contract extension that had uh incentives regarding games played yes so the Knicks are trying to become more durable so getting Zion makes them less durable so I I don’t think that’s a big thing on the radar anymore and you know Paul George has been talked about a lot another player gets injured a lot I just I mean I he feels like a good peace but I feel if you have OG healthy I don’t know if if Paul George makes a lot of sense only because I’m afraid he would get injured too I think the Knicks want to be a more durable team next season I mean the free agency is is about the mid-level exception and it looks like they’ll probably have $12 million maybe the non- taxpayer uh exception and listen Kyle Lowry is out there and you know to take a little pressure off jayen I know tibs loves Lowry uh and to you know he was a backup with Miami and if you remember that Miami series man uh all Tibido would talk about was well you know mean Miami has Kyle Larry as a backup point guard I mean that’s an amazing thing to have and so to have Kyle back up jayen uh would be an enormous uh pressure off Jaylen having to play 44 minutes uh I just you know he he he still plays defense and and he’s been durable even though he has knee injury concerns he he’s played shout out to Fred cats of the athletic for giving us the following information about the Knicks interest in Kyle Lowry according to cats the Knicks were interested in signing Kyle Lowry following his contract buyout with the Charlotte Hornets back in the middle of the Season before he signed with his hometown the Philadelphia 76ers here’s cat’s exact quote Lowry was on the Knicks list after a buyout with the Charlotte Hornets Last Winter According to League sources though he eventually signed with the 76ers if Kyle Lowry is made available again and the Knicks can go after him this offseason in free agency they absolutely will do so he’s a player that Tom tho covets and would love to have on the bench listen there’s there’s a lot of midlevel guys not Superstars Kyle Anderson is another great two-way defensive player who stays healthy if they lose hard and steain you know Looney might be bought out by Golden State he’s a terrific rebounder one of the beautiful things about this Nick’s playoff run and the late in the season was the rebounds the extra chances they got and that’s why hardenstein if they could just keep hardenstein but I don’t know if they can right 16 million a year may not 16 to seven million 17 million a year is the most they could offer as a starting salary and you know it’s been reported about Oklahoma City may be interested as well as others he is a rare find what the old school gritty Center he has a little 10-footer he get he goes after the the basketball he’s got a nose for the ball I mean he was a real central part of the fabric of this tough Knicks team and it’s going to be a shame if they lose him uh because Mitchell Robinson again on the durability scale is at the bottom yes and I would rather have hardenstein I know Robinson was getting offensive rebounds Galore but I if if I need an offensive rebound one offensive rebound to win a game I’d rather have hardenstein on the floor than Robinson I mean that’s how gritty this guy is but anyway so there are some senders that you could fill in I mean Jericho sends it looks like he’s not improving that much and you know you’re probably going to bring him back but I think if they hardenstein it’s a devastating blow um but you know in terms of free agents as a mid-level exception situation it’s not it’s not a a great field but again the Knicks are just trying to be healthier and they need to ass sign someone who’s G to stay healthy see the thing is with me I think with the with the Knicks and trade targets I feel like this is the last I may not the last year but at least the year to kind because they’re primed right now they had they made the trades for OG they kept all their first round picks they have obviously they have an option with Bogie’s contract which I feel like that’s going to be something they need to make a decision on because they could use that as a trade asset obviously before July 1 or after depending on what they want to do so I think they’re they’re primed to make a move but to your point Who’s the move going to be for because there are a number of different players we can talk about but they’re not available we have to wait for them to be quote unquote disgruntled right uh wmy family says bring OG back Connor says awesome show I appreciate you David says Burman keeps it real he does he absolutely does New York forever says Troy you’re the best let’s go Troy how are how old are you Troy um I’m in my 30s and that’s all I’ll say I will not say whether it’s early 30s mid-30s or late 30s but I’m in my 30s you guys can do the guessing if you want to uh Joel says Reggie Jackson as a backup regie Jackson as a backup nah I’m good I don’t need Reggie Jackson as a backup if I’m going to go for a vet backup I’d rather go to Kyle lry i’ rather go the lry route if I’m going to a quote unquote backup type of guard that I need or I’ll go draft one or I’ll get Rus yabas but I don’t need Reggie Jackson I’m not saying he’s not a good player or a great player I just don’t see him fitting within this system and how how many minutes is he going to get it’s also the cost you have to think about as well too I mean if there was nobody else and you could sell me that he would buy in to coming off the bench having an impact playing defense at a high level maybe we could talk about it but I’m not looking at that for uh right now at this point in time I don’t know how else to say thank you besides saying it like this thank you thank you so much I don’t do the streams I don’t do the interviews I don’t do any of this without you guys I don’t do it for myself because I can talk to Burman and write about it create a video about it on the side the reason I do lives is because I want to get you guys engaged and interacted with the actual you know guest that I have on talking with you guys and seeing what

In this clip from The Knicks Recap live stream, NBA Insider Marc Berman and Troy Mahabir discuss the potential targets NY could go after this offseason. From trade targets to other players that will hit free agency, one of those players being Kyle Lowry. The Knicks showed interest in adding Lowry at the trade deadline before he joined his hometown team, the Philadelphia 76ers. But even though NY isn’t home, the connections and interest are there, especially when you consider the Nova Connection… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!
