Kyle Lowry might see Spurs as an alternative option, would that make sense for him?

Kyle Lowry doesn't strike me as a Poppovich player. Lest we forget before coming here, he clashed with every coach that's ever coached him besides Adelman.

Why? Spurs are a treadmill team. Raps have Casey.

If we lose in the first round Kyle may get spooked that he's getting old and hasn't won yet.

Well he's 30 now, the guy has really matured since. Kyle could play on any team and fit in, he's come a long way.

They would have to trade Tony Parker since he doesn't expire until next year, and I don't see it. When have the Spurs done that and traded away a player that played his entire careeer there? Because he was getting old? When was the last time the spurs even made a trade? Just isn't typical behavoir of that organization.

I see KL signing at 12:01.

And the source is pretty suspect.

If it ever happens, which I doubt, we'll see. Often times the people most unwilling to adapt are the older ones. Let's also not forget the reason why Lowry spurned a Heat team with LeBron, Wade, and Bosh on it. He wanted to be the leader of his own team.

Lowry spurned the Heat? I don't remember that at all.

It'd be a big get for the Spurs, but I don't see Kyle leaving unless Masai doesn't give him what he has earned. That being said, I am still vocal about the danger of tying up max money into a 32 year old Kyle Lowry. We have little manoeuvrability, financially, as it.

I watched Parker the other night and he was great. He looks 10 years younger than his age.

Looks like I remembered it wrong. There were rumors of Miami showing interest in Lowry in 2014 and LeBron trying to recruit him, but it looks like those were just website generated rumors started because they made sense rather based on anything.

Its not even about winning, players want that moolah. Kyle wants a 5yr contract, not 4

it would be a culture shock to move from here to San Antonio

Meh it's possible, but who could blame him...The Spurs are the model franchise of the NBA, you'd be stupid not to consider going there.

It's a good second option for Lowry, but he isn't going anywhere. All these threads about his free agency and it's going to be over as fast as DeMar's was with him being handed a max contract immediately.

Berserk_Raptor wrote:Yeah, most of you would say this is old news but to be honest, Kyle could fit into Popovichs system, he is like Manu Ginobili, one of the most clever PGs in the league. Moreover, you gotta take into account that Kyle already has playoffs experience and a gold medal with team USA. What else? Just imagine this core:
Kyle Lowry, Kawhi Leonard and LMA.

Would this make sense for Lowry? Yes, does not only he receives his money but also a more stacked team like the spurs. Does this make sense for SA? Yes, remember that Popovich, apart from talent, looks for smart guys.

btw, my source
http://www.morningnewsusa.com/nba-rumors-kyle-lowry-spurs-23110999.html

The Spurs would have to make some trades and maneuver some contracts to create room for Lowry.

Needless to say, Lowry would be expecting nothing short of a maximum-level contract. The Raptors are in a position to offer him the most lucrative five-year deal. But Lowry could be tempted to join the Spurs if he’s pursuing championships.

Just gonna post this any time someone posts a trade rumour from one of these fake sites

Kyle has been massively underpaid by NBA standards his whole time here. We will certainly max him out.. Whether a trade comes about after is possible but he is getting the money no doubt

The big team really after him in 2014 was the Rockets.

Good point!

If i didn't live in Toronto, have seasons, or have ~8 raptors jerseys, I would probably switch fandom right now :oops:

He clashes with Casey too - lest we forget Calderon starting over him smh...
