WHY would he agree to a sign and trade? What benefit is it to him? If you are OVER the cap...... where are these NEW pieces coming. From?

I don't think you thought this out
lol.. sign and trade would be another team that cant sign a new player cuz they over the cap but needs a PG while having the right pieces to spare..fukk yeah lowry would agree.. it would give him the full 5 years deal..

but your right this is just wishful thinking..

thats why this thread is about letting him walk... sign him and suffer his decline for years... let him go and lose one of your play off pieces...


lesser evil..let him walk.

I wouldn't mind rondo or rose much cheaper than Lowry and are just as brittle but much cheaper

Redikk, Gerald Green, Tony Allen and Patty Mills are free agents and Gallinari got a player option. I'd also mention James Johnson but the Heat gonna give him a big contract and rightfully so

If we let Cory Jo go, I'd like to see Rose.

It's gonna be an interesting off season for the Raps come draft night

Put cory in the starting line up.. find a good starting SF... Couple of shooters..

And pray for second or first seed.
This team without Kyle is a high 30 to low 40 win team. You don't let a guy like that walk for nothing.

Gotta remember the raptors first half of the schedule this season was top heavy and it became a cupcake schedule late.

What you can read from the 2nd half was how the offense fell off a cliff without Kyle tho.

it will be a really bad contract if they sign him, they need to make their decision, do they want to continue with these atlanta hawks-like playoffs or do they finally rebuild? which is a hard decision because rebuilding aint guaranteeing them the bigger success than what they have and players usually dont wanna play in canada so....
Finally? These nikkas been in the playoffs 3 or 4 seasons. Before that they spent about a decade rebuilding.

You surround demar/Kyle with better players..than break it up in 2-3 years any contract can be moved.

How come y'all never say this dumb shyt when it comes to a team like the Houston rockets? They prolly been in it for 5 seasons and reached the same point as Toronto(conference finals). Should they stop the hawks like playoffs and rebuild?

I wouldn't mind bruno starting hes young, athletic, long.

lowry will geta 5 year deal somewhere he can take it.

i'd also trade val hes slow, one of the worst finishers around the basket, defense sucks

raptors need more playmakers, a guy who can consistenlty knock down the three a big man who can play d and get gritty inside
So why let a pg who shot 42% from 3 walk? You already got a big like that his name is Poetl.

dude.. he might have the "special player" credentials... all star + all NBA (i think he would need it this year)

then 206/5 mil salary...

i am pretty sure those "west bound" rumors is to make raptor panic and offer the max

it's too much... imagine paying someone 40+ mil to put of 12 point 5 assist


un trade able..
