Lowry goes home to Philly 

Post#1 » by TD2FutureStar » Thu Jan 14, 2021 3:43 am

Trade idea -

Raptors trade : Lowry

Reasoning is simple. Currently 2-8 and a rebuild is needed. Playing in Tampa and this is a deep draft. There's no better time than now to pull this move off and send Lowry to a contender in his home town.

Sixers trade: 2021 1st +prospect(s) (Maxey, Thybule) Green+ Scott as salary fillers

Philly won't likely have enough cap space to sign Lowry as a UFA next season, so a trade now is necessary and allows the team to compete for a title immediately. Lowry fits the roster like a glove and gives the team much need championship experience.

Final thought:
I think the amount of picks and prospects can be negotiated between both sides. I love the premise of the deal it just makes too much sense for both sides. Would love to hear opinions on how much Philly needs to give up to obtain Lowry.

they will not give up that much. I think you get the first and expiring's. Do you have any idea what the tax implications are for Philly next year?

Forget Maxey...he's not going to get traded for a 35 year old Lowry.

Lowry is an expiring contract and can be retained for a fraction of his current deal.

One other idea I had was involving Ben Simmons. He was rumored to be on the table for Harden and he's well aware of the situation. If there's tension and he wants to be moved the deal could be something like Lowry+ OG + 2 2nds for Simmons + fillers. Those 2nds are basically late 1sts with how bad Toronto is this year.

Thats fine. The trade proposal gives the option of Thybule or Maxey as the prospect heading to Toronto.

A late first and expirings won't get it done for Lowry either. He's worth more than that. 1 prospect or another pick needs to be incoming or I don't personally see a deal being made. Toronto should have other suitors or maybe they just allow him to become a UFA.

What do you mean a fraction? 90%? 20%? my guess is that he would want 2 years and 40 mill. 20 mill equals about 50 in taxes.

Kyle will be 35 in 2 months. Unless he puts up some monster stats the rest of the year I don't see him getting more that 2/30. Could easily see him going for 10yr as well. I dont expect a huge market for him.

What does age have to do with anything? He's an expiring that Philly would be taking on for the rest of the season and a playoff run, not somebody signed to a long term contract. :noway:

Honestly, at this point, it's pretty much a given that every time Lowry gets mentioned, some smartguy on the board is going to lie about his age. It really is starting to feel like trolling. (Not that I'm accusing anybody of trolling, just that it's feeling that way)

On one hand: a 1st and expirings isn't enough to trade for him.

On the other: It won't cost more than 2/30 to resign him.

Those two stances are hard to jive together.

Green, Ferguson, Scott, a 1st, and the Knicks 2nd for Lowry.

Failing that, I'd be interested in Simmons and Harris for Lowry and Siakam.

Lowry is still playing as well as his prime years so his immediate value is high. However, due to his age and injury risk at 35 it would be tough to find a team to offer much more than 2/30 imo. Maybe im wrong and he gets the 2/40. Regardless he's worth a lot more than a late 1st. I don't think that Knicks 2nd gets it done either, but it depends what the other offers are out there.

Upon your second proposal I really can't see Masai looking to deal Siakam. Otherwise I dont see the value being bad both ways.

I like the premise of the deal a lot. Lowry would be perfect to elevate the 6ers, and I think Toronto may pivot to a rebuild.

This has been proposed so many times now. The consensus amongst both fans is pretty much this, Toronto fans think a late first + expirings aren't enough for Lowry, Philly fans aren't willing to add Maxey which is by far their best young asset. We'll see if either side caves by the deadline in real life.

I do at anything under 15, Mavs, Magic, sixers, Bulls, clippers etc. but even 15 which is 1/2 what he makes now it is still close to 40mill a year in taxes.

Thybulle is worth less then Maxey but still has value. I could still see him be used as a bridge here.

I definitely don't think that's the case. He won't be getting 30+ again, but 20+ certainly feels in the realm of possibility on a short term deal.

I'd be good with Thybulle/1st/expirings.
