Lowry wants to play for a contender

heelmaniac · 06-27-2014, 06:29 PM

I smell a Lowery/Napier deal coming.

Notwithstanding LBJ's tweets ... he wants to keep winning, Lowery wants to play for a contender;

Ponder this deal.

Lowery, Novak for Napier and Rachard Lewis/expiring.
as well as release/buyout Salmons, Hansborough, Stone and Bricks.

Loads of room to keep the playing core of 7, with options for value additions.

Bleacher report saying Lowry to Miami S&T is imminent. Lol

Acie · 06-27-2014, 07:00 PM

Masai said today he has never discussed a S&T with anybody and come July 1st re-signing KL is their number 1 priority.

Source: Heat-Raptors Deal for Kyle Lowry 'Imminent' | Bleacher Report

Quote:

An agreement in principle on a deal that would send point guard*Kyle Lowry*from the*Toronto Raptors*to the*Miami Heat*is "imminent," a league source with direct knowledge of the negotiations said Friday.

The deal, which will consist of the Raptors signing and trading Lowry in exchange for Heat point guard Norris Cole, cash and a combination of future draft picks, can't be officially consummated until sometime after*July 1*because Miami is currently over the salary cap and must sort out its position with its existing core of superstars—LeBron James,*Dwyane Wade*and*Chris Bosh.

Quote:

Regardless of how the discussions go with James, Wade and Bosh, however, "Lowry will be a member of the Heat" next season, the source said. The Heat's grand plan is to transform its Big Three into a Big Four that would include Knicks free agent Carmelo Anthony, multiple league sources have said.

The addition of Lowry, though, could mean only part of the current Big Three comprises the new quartet.Lowry, a nine-year veteran, put up career highs in points (17.9 per game), assists (7.4), rebounds (4.7) and starts (79) to help Toronto make the playoffs for the first time since 2008 with a franchise-record 48 wins. The exact terms of his deal are being worked out, but its value will be $9-$10 million a year for at least three years. He made roughly $6.2 million this past season.

I guess we'll see what's true and what's not come July 1.

Guys, don't trip. Bucher is clueless. If anything, we should be happy he's saying this, it means it WON'T happen. He has 0 credibility.

bozonic · 06-27-2014, 07:45 PM

After Lowry goes maybe we trade Salmons and TRoss to New York and take back Andrea for cap space in 2015....fuck me again ...Are we sure Colangelo is really out of the building...

Northern Neighbour · 06-27-2014, 07:48 PM

Yeah, it's Bucher and he's writing for Bleacher. I doubt this has much credibility.

Bucher now apologizing for false report on Twitter and claiming his ''source'' set him up. LMAO.

My deepest and sincere apologies. My report on Lowry and a S&T between the Raptors-Heat is wrong. I should've known better. I could not.....be more embarrassed. I can't explain why someone would go the lengths "my source" did to set me up, but that's irrelevant. I allowed...my zeal to break a story take too much for granted. I'd like to think I'm better than that. Yesterday and today I was not.

DisastrophE · 06-27-2014, 08:25 PM

Well that's relieving but I'm not entirely surprised it was bullshit. It would have been bad enough to lose Lowry to the Heat, but to only get back Norris fucking Cole and a couple worthless second rounders would have drove the entire Raptors fanbase insane. I highly doubt Masai would agree to a fleecing like that.

Torontosaurus · 06-27-2014, 08:35 PM

It was probably Pat Riley using a vocoder...

0nekhmer · 06-27-2014, 08:35 PM

Wait so he just apologized like a bitch, then reported LeBron and wade to Chicago is done?

niggles · 06-27-2014, 08:51 PM

Asshole with a capital A. Let's invite him to the ACC and have him bring his "source"
