Add age and injury, even if it isn't a massive injury and an old, small player can go from productive to quite unproductive quickly.

Good times.

Thats the nature of business... Giving old and smaller players fat deals has not worked out ....

Congrats on not fcking up in this particular manner, leaving yourselves open to fck yourselves over in much more entertaining ways.

Since 2016-17 (not including this season), so a total of 45 playoff games, he's averaged 16/7/5 on 59% TS.

His last five games he shot 8/37 for a whopping 21%. He is avg 4 points at 21% shooting making 30 million a year. It is what it is and the Raptors lucked out trading him to us unfortunately. In the NBA its what have you done for me lately that matter, not some clutch play a player made years go. Today this is the Lowry on the court. Its hard to argue hes not awful. Hes old and will get older. Again great job trading him but man those numbers are horrible. And this is with giving him time off in the regular season. Ouch.

Also considering his age this might be the best version of Lowry we see come playoff time. Hes not going to get any younger and he did give him time off in the regular season. Everyone kept saying he is a difference maker come playoffs, well two games with zero points kinda says it all. The Raps won the trade with the Heat, thats for sure.
