Well, Ric Bucher said he was going to the Heat, so he's not headed to Miami.

Which legit teams need point guards?

If he doesn't go back to Toronto the most mentioned team is the Rockets. I think maybe the Lakers could have a shot at him, they'd have to make some moves though, probably not.

Personally I'd like to see him on a team like the Pacers or Maverick. Heat have a chance too if Bosh and Wade opt out and the Big 3 take less money, or if they make a move.

Lowry will look good in purple and gold

Hmm...The Pacers would be a good fit.

He was already in Houton.

[Fiddlesticks]

The Bulls would be a good fit, they need a reliable, durable PG.

[DaSeba5]

He's one of my favorite players. I'm on board with him coming to Miami.

[Foster5k]

Lmao.

Guess he's good as gone then, because the Raptors aren't sniffing anything close to a championship for a long time.

Lowry
Wade
Lebron
Bosh
Insert decent big

Looks like championship caliber to me.

[longtime lurker]

Spurs have 9 million in capspace to offer. Go West young man.

[Trollsmasher]

it's shaping up:applause:

[Legends66NBA7]

We'll see what happens. If he walks, we got a back up plan in place. If not, I don't see why he doesn't want to be the main guy on rising team in Toronto.

I don't care much for public perception and I don't know if Kyle's that guy either, but I still think he's looking to get paid as well. Would he really take a pay cut after the season he just had ? Also, why would he got West ? If there's a such weakness, stay in the East.

[PacerRaptor]

Come to Indy and let Hill be the 6th man

[lakerspng]

Lowry
Kobe
Melo
Randle
Gasol

I'd feel better going into the season with that lineup.

obviously some big holes on the bench to fill but if we can shed Nash's contract, think we could turn 2015 into an interesting season.

Mavs. Chandler FMVP. Dirk retires.

[Twiens]

One of my favourite players in the league, I don't see why he'd go to Miami though. #1/2 option in Toronto to spotting up in the corner for Lebron.

what the **** happened to loyalty? go back to toronto dude, that team has a lot of potential and you're a big reason why

LeBron* took loyalty and shit on it.

[Hamtaro CP3KDKG]

Hes gone
contract Raptors what a pathetic franchise

[BlackVVaves]

Thing is, with this new CBA and cap restrictions...

If I'm a GM, I would want Lowry on my team, but not for a max contract.

It's all about getting value in today's NBA. And you just don't allocate that large of a percentage of your resources to a player unless he has transcendent capabilities. Otherwise, your margin for success is cut in half, if not more. Look at what happened to the Pacers this year when Roy Hibbert yet again ended another season badly. Look at every team that has Rudy Gay now. Like there's a reason why every time he has left his departing team has gotten infinitely better; their able to use that money and invest in more diverse impactful players.

So, I'm just saying. You don't want a 17 and 7 point guard getting a quarter or third of your cap.

Will he play for Kevin McHale again though? He didn't end his tenure in Houston on the best of terms.
