    I don't think there's really any chance of that.

    The Raptors love Kyle. They absolutely love him. And, despite their slow start to the year, they're on track to be a playoff team without too much trouble and, while he's a bit older, the odds that he would re-sign are fairly high because of the strength of Toronto's supporting cast, most of whom are locked up going forward (Anunoby, Pascal, Malachi, etc).

    While I don't think he's necessarily untouchable, I do think it would take a mammoth offer to pry him away: something Jrue sized, for example. And are we willing to pay that much to a guy of his age with no guarantee he returns? I would hope not.
    Basketball.

    Yeah, but I bet they would listen if we toss in the worthless BI to sweeten the pot, huh? Nah, never mind, that wouldn't do it.

    Ok so I was basing this off of the big NBA writers and media heads making some noise around Lowry. KOC said that Toronto really wants to get Powell more time and may make Lowry available. KOC usually doesn?t mention things like that unless there?s actually some smoke. They?re not going to be able to keep Lowry past this season after extending FVV and Siakam with a Boucher extension looming.

    I think Lowry is the perfect PG to transition the Pels into a contender while grooming Kira to be the PG of the future. I?d be very willing to give him basically the same contract as Bledsoe has remaining at 2/40

    There may be smoke, sure, I'd be absolutely shocked if teams weren't calling. But here's the thing:

    1) The cost. For a contender to trade for him, it's worth giving up everything they can muster because he could be the difference between a ring and no ring. For us, that pricetag is not as worth paying because it doesn't actually buy us anything tangible: we are not a contending team.
    2) They can keep Lowry, of course, for the same reason that any team can keep any vet they've had on contract for years and years if they want: Bird Rights. And teams giving legacy contracts is not new, particularly not when the player in question is still really good. This leads on to:
    3) Toronto are still a good team. Unless they get a ridiculous offer, they have no particular reason to want to move Lowry. If you want him, you best be prepared to pay a lot.
    4) I don't think Toronto is, if the trade actually happens, going to send Lowry anywhere he doesn't want to go, for similar reasons that we didn't just ship Jrue off any ol' place. Does he want to come be shepherd to some youth in New Orleans when he's still capable of contributing to a contender?
    5) He's getting paid more than $20m a year, I'd be absolutely shocked if he got less than $25. You're not getting him on a Bledsoe type contract.

    I think we should trade Lonzo Ball for Steph Curry and then trade Steven Adams for Nikola Jokic and then trade Ingram for Kawhi and we'll be a real contender.

    What about John Collins? Any interest on our part there? I guess you'd move BI to 2 and just be super long. I don't hate it. I'd think being so long overall would help overcome defensive issues a little.

    p.s.- tried to search older posts more about it but it seems the search function basically just doesn't work? nothing I type in comes back with anything.

    I had heard he had butted heads somewhat with Trae Young, but I really like John Collins the basketball player.....

    He's supposed to be available for the right price.

    So tired of people complaining. There is no perfect GM. We have a promising young team with so much potential it’s crazy and loaded with draft picks. I’m excited for the future. We’re also witnessing historical greatness in Zion

    Yes, I agree; his defense is historically awe-inspiring.

    You mustn't agree that his defense is historically awe-inspiring!!!

    I thought I was only agreeing with you.
