An agreement between Kyle Lowry and the Toronto Raptors is "imminent", according to a source.


Teams, however, cannot speak to free agents from other clubs until after July 1.


"Lowry will be a member of the Heat," said the source, regardless of how the discussions between the current Big about opting out progress.


The Heat would like to transform its Big Three of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh into a Big Four that includes Lowry and Carmelo Anthony instead of Bosh.

Whooohoo...they are getting even Smaller lol

BTW...Wade is NOT a big 4th....Amazing how a reputation can overshadow inability to play a full season, no range on his shots and no ability to dominate physically.

The Raptors are concerned that Lowry's improvement last season was inspired by his pending free agency


This is exactly what I said last season when Lowry was on the rise. "Trade him now," I said. "You're stupid," Raptors fans replied. We'll see who's stupid.

It's BS

Lowry on Heat rumors: “I haven’t really thought about too much lately with free agency because it’s still not here. Rumors are just rumors."

:crazy: these are bunch of crap reports. If it's not David Aldridge and Stephen A Smith bringing the news, expect the truth to be 20%.

The NBA should be giving the Heat a fine for tampering with Kyle Lowry........

remember when rudy gay dominated the ball and this guy barely got touches and how effective he was (or wasnt)... this will happen when carmelo and lebron dominate the ball and all he is reduced to do is put up 10-13ppg and 5 asts and 3-5 reb, and take charges..

The VERY FIRST thing I looked for was "who wrote this" or "who's the source".

As exciting as that would be, I didn't bother reading.

How is it possible for the heat to replace bosh with lowry and melo unless bosh agrees to a sign and trade to either new york or toronto. Heat won't have the cap space to sign either player out right - they can resign bosh because they own his bird rights. Bosh has already been public that he wants to resign with the heat (barring a lebron departure probably) and he wants to consistently compete for titles like he did the past four seasons. I'm pretty sure the rockets, bulls and lakers are interested in bosh if they can't sign melo or lebron. I also read a report that the warriors are huge bosh fans and they would love to replace david lee with him. I'm pretty sure the warriors would rather dump david lee to a third team and sign bosh outright than give up assets like klay thompson to acquire kevin love. Unlike lee and love - bosh plays quality defense and has a ton of playoff experience. Bosh would also greatly improve his offensive stats and rebounding #s playing as a likely 2nd option on the dubs behind stephen curry instead of as a third wheel on the heat.

Crazy rumor. Why would Bosh agree to a sign and trade to go to a Raptor squad that is exchanging him for their best player? Nostalgia doesn't win championships. If the Heat are eager to get rid of Bosh he should opt out and let the real contenders bid for his services. Miami's in a tough spot. If the big three don't all agree to opt out and stay then Bosh and Lebron will opt out and leave and Wade can stay and pad his retirement fund with $42mil for two years.

Just like Kobe to the Bulls was imminent years ago.
