Speak for yourself about Lowry. I'd love to have him for two more years, and then would love to have him at a back-up's salary and a back-up's role after that. He turned a corner with his playoff performance this year. Only a few defensive mistakes, which is natural (wayyyyyy less defensive errors than Harden or LBJ, but I know, that really isn't a good argument).
The other two - sure - you can reasonably be close in saying "no one".
Lowry is a truly elite player and the only one of our core worth keeping. If we can somehow swap out Derozan and JV for more complimentary pieces, then that would be a team worth trying to compete with.
It boggles the mind to read the number of post's that diss Kyle. The guy is the reason we've had the success of the last 5 years. He's been a beast. He's more pissed than anyone about crapping out this year, that's why he called it " a wasted year". Our brain-dead former coach in his presser didn't think it was "a wasted year". I tried reaching through my TV screen to throttle Casey for his stupidity.
It was no surprise to me that he was fired 2 days later. Masai had put up with that idiot long enough. He won't trade Lowry, because he more than anyone knows what Lowry means to the team. He's the glue holding the team together.
