In yesterday's match against Gulphun, Kyle Lowry had to go to the rest room for treatment due to injury, and he returned in the second half, but it didn't take long to play and limped back to the lounge again. After the game, the news came out that Lowry had sprained his ankle and needed to continue watching. This season, the 34-year-old is plagued by serious injuries, and he has missed many games due to toe infections and back injuries, which has made him in a state of flux and unable to play with peace of mind. Of course, in addition to injuries, off-court factors have also been bothering Lowry, because all indications are that as the first point guard in Raptors history, he has basically decided to say goodbye to the team this season.
At present, Lowry has listed his property in Canada for sale, and many media have also revealed news that the Raptors are ready to trade Lowry, and now they are waiting for those potential next offers in order to maximize the value of the transaction. Therefore, although there is still more than a month to go before the March 25 trading deadline, it is not necessary to be too shocked when the news of Lori being traded suddenly comes out one day. So, after leaving the Raptors, where will Lowry's next stop be?
The Clippers have gained momentum this season, but the issues of point guard and center position have remained unresolved, and coupled with a recent injury to George, they will not sit still. According to people familiar with the matter, the Clippers have a lot of interest in getting Lowry, ready to use Beverly, Zubac and Cabangerley to match the salary for the trade, get Beverley, a guard player who does not clash with VanVleet, and two young interior players, which can make the Raptors satisfied. Lowry's arrival can solve the Clippers' point guard's stubborn problems, while his outside pull can also provide Leonard with the fire support and singles space he needs most. In addition, Lowry has a very good personal relationship with Tyrone Lou and Leonard, so if you can go to Los Angeles to chase your second championship ring, it should be the best result.
In addition, the Heat are also interested in getting Lowry, who has undoubtedly been one of the most disappointing teams in the NBA this season, and their record has been very unsatisfactory due to various factors on and off the court. The Heat, with the exception of Butler and Adebayor, are said to be available as trading chips, even including the young Hiro. However, these players do not have special needs or interests of the Raptors, and it is more difficult to trade and form.
In contrast, the Cavaliers would have been much easier if they wanted to get Lowry, as their starting center Andre Drummond was also in the countdown to departure, and the Raptors were interested in "Chuang Shen". Not long ago, the Raptors and the Cavaliers have discussed this deal, Lowry and "Zhuang Shen" swap, there is no problem in salary matching, and after the swap, the Raptors should earn, their center position has been strongly reinforced, and the impact of the playoffs has a greater confidence. On the Side of the Knights, getting Lowry can strengthen the combat strength, but more importantly, it is still to help Sexton grow, which is very valuable.
Then there's the Pelicans, who have also been a bit disappointed this season and have run out of patience with Lonzo Ball and desperately need an instant point guard to help the team move up to the playoffs. In this sense, no one is more suitable than Lowry, and if you get him, the enhancement to the Pelicans is visible to the naked eye. However, under the premise that Zion and Ingram do not move, the rest of the Pelicans are not attractive to the Raptors, so the deal is more wishful thinking.
Of course, all this is just speculation, and exactly what will happen, no one knows now. But no matter what, I wish Lowry a happy ending to his career. (Sycamore)
