Lowry anybody?

An all-star in the East. He doesn't sniff the all star team in the west. Is Patterson worth a late first, early second and Booker plus probably other players and Burke? I'm not even sure he's a better player for this team than Booker. I like Lowry, I don't think he fits this team and 2 first for a guy like him still seems steep to me. Especially if the team is blowing it up anyway.

The fit is questionable indeed(mainly about what we are trying to do defensively), but the value I think is very fair to say the least... when I saw it I actually thought, "no way they are doing this trade"... I think the only reason they would do it is if they decide to blow it up. I think you do not realize what a top 10 PG(and he is one for sure) can do for us. I'm confident Quin can use him and fit him into the system just fine.
 
He would be a huge upgrade that we would otherwise not have. What's the point of hoarding assets and never using them? It's unlikely we'll get someone as good as Lowry in FA. Jumping on that deal is a no-brainer, IMO.
 
That would be a great deal but that doesn't mean we should do it. I don't think we'll do our blockbuster trade where we cash in some of these assets happens until we are ready to contend in a couple years.
 
I don't understand all the Lowry hate. Toronto would have won like 20 games without him.

Starting Lineup:

Amir Johnson
Terrence Ross
Jonas Valanciunas
Kyle Lowry
DeMar DeRozan

Amir and Lowry are the only two I would even want on a Jazz roster.
 
I would absolutely do it... My only hesitation would be the psyche of Exum. Lowry is a good defender has been top 5 RPM for his position the last two years. There have also been some locker room issues but I don't think he's rondoesque.

We also get a good complimentary front court piece.

There is a chance Exum is never as good as Lowry is now... I think he'll get there but this deal would allow us to compete now and Exum would still get enough time to develop.

And he is playing hurt right now so don't judge him on his current production.
