According to the US media Bleacher Report, Tyrannosaurus has regarded the team’s meritorious guard Kyle Lowry as a “tradeable” player. The team said that the replacement is inevitable and it is time to let him leave.
The source revealed that a senior from the Eastern Conference team said: “I think Toronto wants to send Lowry to the Western Conference, but Ujiri will choose the trade that can bring back the greatest return.”
Lowry, who will turn 35 in March, has a contract this season with a one-year contract of 30 million that was extended in October 2019. This contract will expire this summer. The signing of this contract was considered the last reward and gratitude given by Tyrannosaurus to the veteran.
According to the development direction of the Tyrannosaurus team after 2019, the team’s desire for a younger lineup is very obvious. In the last offseason, the Tyrannosaurus chose not to renew Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka, leaving the two insiders who still had the strength to go to the Los Angeles duo, while the Tyrannosaurus retained Fred VanVleet with an annual salary of 20 million.
Now in this Tyrannosaurus team, although Lowry and VanVleet’s dual-control lineup are used as the starting point, the ball is mostly in VanVleet’s hands. Lowry is no longer the team’s number one choice, plus the top salary Forward Pascal Siakam also wants the ball. Tyrannosaurus has reason to choose to trade Lowry with a half-year contract to exchange him for some useful chips.
Lowry played 20 games for the Tyrannosaurus this season, averaging 36.2 minutes, scoring 17.6 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, shooting 42.2% from the field and 36.9% from the three-point range. Obviously, Lowry still has good combat power at this time, and it is still worth some teams that are pursuing combat power to get him. For Lowry, the next career will enter a new stage, and Tyrannosaurus will revolve around young players. Team building and separation will also be a happy result for everyone.
