New starting PG? Itinerant starting PG until Scottie is ready?

See wiretap.

Bring him home for the vibes. He can come off the bench while enjoying legacy status.

I would love to bring him back to mentor Scottie if he is waived.

He was still their 3rd best player in the Finals. Harsh end if that's the case.

bring him back and he becomes the 5th option in the starting unit. mentoring Scottie, Nowell and Flynn

It's tough for Miami.

They have a few free agents in Strus and Vincent who will get decent size contracts.

They probably overpaid both Herro and Duncan.

Butler will be 34 and Lowry will be 38 so at most they would maybe have 1 more good year left together.

What are the rules? If a team claims him off waivers they have to pay the full 29.7 million salary, but it he goes unclaimed, he can be signed for vet minimum?

His decent playoff showing notwithstanding, they have wanted to move him for about 6 months now.

I would take 40 year old Kyle over FVV any day

Watching him in the playoffs particularly the ECF and Finals this year was a treat

Lowry is still a useful player off the bench. Just really unfortunate that he's making like 30 million a year to do that. Riley has been horrendous with that team's cap the past few years. Herro, Lowry and Robinson are all bad contracts.

Lowry to Philly :nod:

Nick Nurse connection

Just have to realize that he's probably 24 minutes a game, not 38. That's OK as Scottie can do the other 24 minutes at PG.

He is on record saying he wants to finish as a Raptor, but you are right, he may end up in Philly.

I was thinking he goes to the Suns but Sixers make sense as well.

Bring him back if FVV walks so he can teach these puzzies how to take charges and mentor Nowell. We don't have our 1st rounder anyway so who cares about next season's outcome for better or worse.

Ya I can definitely see this. Maybe an outside shot for Milwaukee with Adrian Griffin.

I can see the Suns as well. He's even more into golf now, living in south Florida.
