Why didnt we send a delegation!? I tought he was priority number 1 and all. And from the looks of it, he's all we're after really and can't afford anyone else. So why not be there first and in person? What else do they have to do? Morey and McHale are after LeBron and Anthony supposedly and they are there?

Exactly, Houston would trade Lowry in a second if they can package him for a better player. Masai was the guy that got the most out of him. Morey gave up on him.

How is morey meeting with lowry first? I thought masai was gonna meet him first. Or is he gonna call?

Wow. I feel like this could be a changer. Morey actually taking out the time to actually go see lowry face to face while masai just gives him a phone call. MAybe lowry decides upon that?

I like to think that Kyle is sitting in a suit in his den or something and he has the Shark tank setup so that GM's come in one after the other making their pitches OR they are both in the room at once and it's gladiator GM edition. First to make it out alive get Lowry's PG services.

Everyone needs to calm down. Nothing has happened. Lowry is the ugly girl turned hot who the lead QB is now asking to prom after playing a practical joke on her except she chooses the smart nerd who will actually make something of himself one day.

Honestly hard to see him leaving Demar, Val, and the 2 years from being 2 years away.

I trust in Masai's defensive ability as a GM.

He will block all the other suitors as if they were the other 199, 999, 999 unsuccessful sperm cells who were rejected from the ability to cross the finish line in the great race of life.

Masai can become the GOAT RoosterBlocker.

:rocking:

Masai was honest with Lowry. He told them that he was included in trade talks.

Both are in the same boat.
Lowry would have been in NY if Dolan didn't have anything to say about it.

Yeah this can't be allowed. I doubt they just rang his doorbell at midnight. They must have called him earlier and said they were coming which is a breach of the rules.

There was an article before where Kyle said he regretted how he treated Mchale and said he wouldn't mind playing for him again in the future.

I posted that a couple days ago when people said he wouldn't consider Houston. This doesn't sound like someone who is holding a grudge...

Always, too, Lowry loved sitting with GM Daryl Morey and his old assistant, Sam Hinkie, poring over the data revolution that had seeped into the basketball world.

"I guess I was a great analytics player before I even knew what it was," Lowry says with a laugh. "The things they emphasized – free throws, 3-pointers, layups – were things that were a big part of my game. You can really help yourself if you understand analytics. Not sure you can pick the best team in the world by just using it, but it helps. There's no doubt in my mind."

Morey and McHale still felt strongly about Lowry and his talent, and made a bid at the trade deadline to bring him back to the Rockets, league sources said.

Looking back, the unraveling under McHale still festers with Lowry. He wishes he had been smarter, surer of himself, less combative in carving out his turf in the NBA. He wishes he had grown up sooner. For Lowry, reaching peace with these revelations gave him the chance to change everything with the Raptors.

"I would have done things differently in Houston," Lowry says. "I really respected Kevin McHale. I wish I would have had an opportunity to play for him longer. The things he was teaching me, well, I didn't understand right away. When you get away from someone, though, see it from the outside looking in, you go back and think, 'Damn, I could've learned some more things from the guy.'

"I wanted to stay with Coach Adelman and needed to get over that. [McHale] came in with a different philosophy, and I wish I could've adapted to it quicker."

I was very worried until I see McHale is also attending.
McFail is a huge turn off if Lowry has any sense.
You can add Carmelo on McFail's Houston roster and I still think they wont go beyond 2nd round.
