    Yea, it comes down to a fit issue. Kyle can do exactly what this team needs. Take care of the ball, play good D, and shoot lights out when we need him to. I would rather have him than Rondo as well. Primarily because Rondo is a wild card that could blow up, and while Kyle is no saint, he is far more reliable.

    It'll be interesting to have him with Harden around. Will he be alright to be a spot-up shooter?

    Bingo! The rockets can offer lowry the mle,but they could do better with a sign and trade. Lin for lowry and give lowry a 4 yr 30m deal. Then offer ariza the mle again. Ariza backing up parsons and harden 30mins a night,bev backing up lowry, along with everyone else would be an awesome squad.

    he's playing pretty well alongside someone who has the ball just as much as harden

    Lowry had 6 turnovers in that last game but wasn't yanked for it. Lin should love it Toronto with that coach. I can see a backcourt of Lin and DeRozan tearing it up. Morley make it happen.

    Yeah, if we can Jedi mind trick Masai Ujiri or blackmail him with child p*rn or something then that trade might happen. Geeeeeez.

    Beverley backing Lowry would be sick on this team.

    Lin on the Raptors and Lowry being here will benefit both a lot.

    Just my 2 cents..Parsons will be abused all season long if you moved him as PF...Notice how Parsons has been slumping lately due to the small-ball line-up..

    Melo has the body to defend the 4 spot. Also, we don't know what Parsons will become once he no longer has to focus so much on the offensive end.

    Aron brooks 27points 17 assists in today's game.
    Houston PG is a certified thing.

    I love Lowry, but I really think he's saying all this stuff just to shed his image as someone who doesn't get along with his coaches. Teams would be hesitant to offer him a contract if they think he might be a cancer.

    Would Sam Hinkie want him in Philadelphia? Lowry would love to play for his hometown.

    Hinkie might make a play for him as well.

    Of course he loved playing for Rick the Ruler, what player wouldn't?

    funny thing is if Lowry and McHale never butted heads, might have never gotten an asset big enough to swing the Harden trade and subsequently lure Dwight. Dat butterfly effect

    Pretty much, Masai will demand at least Chandler Parsons and a pick for Lowry, if we want to saddle them with Lin, but the Raptors don't need a SF at all, since they are still developing Ross.

    Tearing it up to a top 10 pick, yes.

    DO IT MORLEY

    So true.

    With Harden on the team, the PG position in Houston is not going to be glamorous and won't bring big bucks for the PG.

    Any PG who wants a big contract would be hesitant to come.
