Whether you like it or not, Lowry will get the max this summer. I would prefer Hayward but honestly neither will sign with us even if we throw the max at them. LOL.
Kyle Lowry and Gordon Hayward deserve the max, i never said they didn't. But their teams are the ones that should give it to them, because they are already really good. The Lakers are really young, and adding a 31 year old is not going to do us any good tbh. We'll just waste all our space for someone thats not going to take us anywhere. If we throw the max at Kyle Lowry, we still won't make the playoffs, and on top of that, all our cap space is gone. I would sign Gordon Hayward because he is younger, but he will definitely not sign with us.
I agree Hayward is younger....and younger is 'nice'. But Lowry is a damn good player at a position we need. All Hayward does is make Ingram a trade-piece. How's that better?
Signing Lowry to a 4-year deal would put him at 35 by contract's end. For the record....He'd be 34, and turn 35 like the last 2-weeks of the season. If you have a better PG available, by all means share. But we need a floor leader. Hayward will just make Ingram obsolete, and massively stunt his growth. And I'm sorry....but I think Ingram will be a considerably better player than Hayward, if he gets those minutes.
Getting a floor leader / PG....and sliding Russell to the SG position should be the focus of the team this year. Not bringing in a another SF. Obviously, I prefer we get our pick and use it for a PG. Then it's $$ saved. Honestly, I wouldn't even make a play at Hayward, if we get our pick, and don't need a PG. He's a good SF in this league. I think SF is the one position on this team I'm not at all worried about. I have questions about Zubac, Randle, Russell. We still need a PG. But we're good at the 3. Just give it 2 years.
