[tdotrep2]

hey there delilah? the **** lol

"YES WE DID"

[Dr Octagon]

Anything over $9M per is an overpayment that we will regret.

[JS_raptors]

booyahhhh! F*ck off miami, LA, Houston!

[SkywalkerAC]

I;m sure talks were held during the season between the team and his agent. So it's possible some of the parameters of what it would take to bring him back were discussed.

Exactly, we've been lobbying hard for a while now. Masai was very clear that Lowry was our man.

[Roland Brice]

I'd bet he got 12 million per year. I just hope he doesn't return to his mouthy, fat, somewhat injury prone pre-contract year form.

[SkywalkerAC]

We're setting up the team so that KD can come in and put us over the top.

Only real chance of winning a championship

The equivalent of KD is basically any team's only real chance of winning a championship. Unless you're the Spurs I guess, and even they probably only have one more year of Duncan and Pop.

what it cost

[UneducatedFan86]

It sounded like it was more of his opinion than anything. He even added in the "I'd be shocked if it didn't happen" line. Giving himself an out if it doesn't go down. We've heard this type of "it's a done deal" before in Toronto just to have something turn out the complete opposite.

My guess would be 4 years @ $44 million with the fourth year being a player option.

[elmer_yuck]

I'm sure it helps that the players respect and can relate to Masai.
Unlike his slimy used-car-salesman predecessor.

[mirrornick]

I'm taking a shot in the dark


My sources confirm .........Lowry will be paid 50M/4 years

[agentzero2010]

the question is will Lowry pull a raymond Felton and gain 20 pounds of fat over the summer?

[SkywalkerAC]

Everything to this point has basically pointed this being as close to a done deal as you get in unrestricted free agency.

[T_Biggums]

Really don't care what the deal is, Toronto need to show we can keep our top FA's

[Rare]

hope it's not too much more than 4/48, but end of the day if it is pricy, we still have him back and I love him on this team.

[RealityIsDemar]

The only dreaded question... what will it cost :/

But I'm happy that we are re-taining talent from last year and that we will be only better if we can lock up PPat and GV. I'd easily take:

Lowry/GV
DD/Lou
Ross/??/Copalco
Amir/PPat
Val/??/Nougeira

over
Lowry/GV
DD/Fields
Ross/Salmons
Amir/PPatt/Hansbrough
Val/Hayes

Only Improving
