Emens has talked with the Knicks since free agency began last Sunday, but he said he did not know whether the team would match Toronto’s offer. Last year, Fields averaged 9 points and 4 rebounds a game, numbers that declined from his rookie season. “I think he’s happy to go wherever he’s wanted,” Emens said. “He feels he can help them win.” New York Times

With the Knicks probably not in the mood to match the Landry Fields’ three-year, $19 million offer sheet, their interest in recently bought- out veteran forward Rashard Lewis should increase. A source told The Post Tuesday the Knicks were on Lewis’ short list, along with Miami, the Lakers, San Antonio and Atlanta. New York Post

Knicks GM Glen Grunwald said on the night of the NBA draft that his priority is re-signing not only Smith, but Jeremy Lin, Steve Novak and Landry Fields. "We want to keep both (Lin and Novak) and keep Landry and J.R.," Grunwald said on Thursday night. "They're all valuable players and we're going to try to keep all four of them. We have some (recruiting) plans. We've been in contact with our own free agents and they've expressed their desire to come back. They know we love them and want them. We'll do the negotiating and hopefully it all works out." ESPN.com

If they landed Nash via a sign-and-trade with Phoenix, the Knicks would not bepart with point guard Iman Shumpert, who the Suns liked in last year's draft. New York is willing to part with a package that features Landry Fields, Toney Douglas, $3 million and the non-guaranteed salaries of Dan Gadzuric and Jerome Jordan. Fields is a restricted free agent who could be signed to a deal while Douglas' contract could be seen as an expiring contract whose salary is more than covered by the cash component. The Suns could waive Gadzuric and Jordan at no cost. Arizona Republic

As NBA free agency opens tonight (midnight), #Knicks will make heavy overtures to free agent targets such as Steve Nash and Jason Kidd, but also focus in-house with free agents Jeremy Lin, Steve Novak, J.R. Smith and Landry Fields, but don't expect any immediate action. This is a new climate with a new CBA, so its worth seeing what the market sets for each player. Contracts can't be signed until July 11, so the next 10 days will be a nerve-wracking whirlwind. Sulia

Anthony is waiting to see who he will be playing with next season. Knicks management must make decisions regarding many of the team’s potential free agents, including Jeremy Lin, Steve Novak and Landry Fields. “We have to build some consistency up here in New York,” Anthony said. “Over the past 10 years there’s been no consistency. It’s been one team in and one team out. We are just getting started. I don’t want to see those guys leave. New York Daily News

It would be no surprise if power forward Josh Owens were the smartest guy in the gym, being that he's a Stanford guy and all. But Owens also being the best athlete in the gym, that might come as a shock. That explains why Owens is getting more attention during NBA draft workouts than he did during his five-year Stanford career. Two years after Stanford forward Landry Fields rose from anonymity to second-round sleeper, Owens is trying to do the same. "I would love to be that guy this year," Owens said after working out for the Warriors at the team's downtown Oakland practice facility Monday. Contra Costa Times

One source familiar with Fields' situation said, "I doubt Landry's worth $5 million, but you never know. When teams try to sign restricted free agents, they sometimes have to over-pay just in order to make the other team let him go. So I could see Landry getting a bigger deal because of that -- not so much because he's worth that much right now as a basketball player, but because he can walk." ESPN.com
