Here's why this sucks the most:

The Raptors should have had roughly $10 million in cap space next summer, with an amnesty option that could have taken that number to $15 million or more. Looking beyond even next summer, the team could have extended Lowry in the future with a sizable contract and still would have had plenty of breathing room going forward. With DeRozan’s contract soon to be on the books, the Raps might have little, if any, cap space next summer and might be capped out going forward once they extend Lowry, whose agent should be asking for max money with DeRozan at nearly $10 million (I’m only half kidding).
