Oh. My. God. Don't like this for either team. I really like Lowry, but that's too much money for his skillset. He's great as a backup (his role in Houston), I have my doubts as a starter (probably his role in Cleveland). The only bright side is I finally get to see Mo Williams leave.
http://twitter.com/pdcavsinsider Well, if that's the case, the deal is more like a 3 yr./$17.4M with a team option for ~$6.75M in 2013-14. That makes is at least a LITTLE more palatable to match. My guess is that Les Alexander is not a big Dan Gilbert fan right now, though.
Money is not the issue here. Would you have resigned Lowry to a 4 year deal with a team option on the last year if it was for only 2 mil. Yes you would. Les is willing to spend money to keep this team a contender. Well sometimes you have to spend money to keep teams contenders, so here you go. Since Les is willing to spend money this is a good investment as you get a good PG for 4 years to come.
Morey said he will match any offer for Lowry and Scola. if we let Lowry walk, i can't imagine what's other teams will do to Scola.
Ya'll are crazy. Lowry's role is too big to lose. You cant replace his hustle and grit. I dont care WHO you bring in to replace him. He's too valuable. Plus he's the PERFECT compliment to Aaron. HOWEVER, to say Lowry will start over Brooks one day is ridiculous. Aaron is the obviously the better player
I'm looking at FA PG's available... Nate Robinson, Shannon Brown, Earl Watson, Allen Iverson, Roger Mason, Eddie House, Will Bynum, Acie Law, CJ Watson, Royal Ivey, Jason Williams... For the love of God, please sign Kyle Lowry...
Lowry is one of my favorite players but I think it is too steep to match. But I guess if Darko got 20 mill Lowry deserves 24 mill.
The thing is, if we DON'T sign Lowry, then we'll have to sign a PG who will probably want the same amount of money, give or take. Like a poster just posted, Lowry is probably the best candidate for a spot on our team, versus the other PGs.
