Kyle was upset that he was not starting in Miami. He still considers himself a starter, so let him go to anther team where he thinks he could start and still contribute to a winning situation. I just don't see any title contenders starting him.

Bring back as a coach next year.

Kyle can come back when he's ready to retire. I think we need to use the roster spots for young guys with bright futures, esp since we already have Thad and Temple here. Now next offseason, if we lose both Thad/Temple and Kyle thinks he's done enough in his career, I wouldn't mind giving him a 1 year deal as the 15th man to be a player coach.

Kyle's run is over. He's a 12th man at this point.. I hope he catches on somewhere.

would not mind him as a backup, could teach scottie/quickly a lot. But obviously only if he's ready to step into the thad/back pg role.

Not even backup. 3rd PG. He's putting up the first negative BPM since his 2nd season in Memphis. I think it's over for Kyle, but if he wants to ring chase another year as a vet guy, I can see him giving it a shot. Otherwise, it's about time to hand em up.

I see Lowry more as a talking head somewhere. Seems destined to be in front of the camera somewhere.

If we can get Lowry to come back in a backup/veteran leader role on the vet minimum or reasonable deal (1 day contracts are b.s.), we should do it as Lowry's experience and tutelage could really benefit Scottie and Quickley.

It wouldn't be surprising if the Knicks complete the Villanova full circle.

Bro. He might be 'washed' now but remember, without him having a major contribution in the playoffs, we wouldn't have won the championship

When he's bought out, he can find his way home.

Bringing back Kyle would be great damage control for Scottie and improving his morale, he hasn't looked the same since his "guys" were traded, plus im sure he would be a great mentor to IQ as well.

No. If we need a teacher, Hire an assistant coach. That's what they are for.

Give them Schroeder and GTJ or whatever it is, and bring him home as the player coach we need. Lowry is the master mind of the We the North era, let
Him influence the young guys today


What have Thad and Temple been doing? lol vet experience is over-rated at times.

Return to Toronto Raptors
