Throughout last week, there have been trade rumors speculating around Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry going to the Knicks for some kind of package deal, including Iman Shumpert , Raymond Felton, Metta World Peace, and possibly Tim Hardaway Jr, along with the usual dealing of draft picks.

Trade rumors surrounding Los Angeles Lakers forward Paul Gasol are an annual event in the NBA , but the speculation has started a bit earlier than usual this year after a reported conflict with coach Mike D'Anton i and his public comments about his role in the Lakers' offense.

The franchise has played some really lousy games this year, like its 41-point loss to the Boston Celtics , and there have been few signs pointing to a Woodson-led turnaround.

Sometimes we have to stand up and do the right thing and not worry about what other people think.

The New York Knicks lost by 20 to the Hawks at home on November 16th. The Knicks got even by beating the Hawks 111-106 at home on Saturday night.
