    @WojYahooNBA: Expect Toronto GM Masai Ujiri to make aggressive bid to keep Kyle Lowry at midnight, try to wrap up deal before Miami/Houston can engage.

    Yeah sorry, I was looking for the cyberx thread

    I think an overpay keeps Lowry.

    The way he plays this is likely his last chance at big money, if they offer 11-12 mill/yr for 3 years and tell him take it or leave it. I think he takes the money over hoping Miami/Houston give him 8-9 mill/yr for 3 years

    He's getting around 12 mil a season imo.

    Maybe, but that action would not concur with his comments about prioritizing championship contending, so I would not bet on that.

    Lowry has been underpaid (and underplayed) his entire career thus far. He'll go where the money is.

    Lowry will likely stay in Toronto because he will get more money, and play the ball as a team leader, why does he want to move?

    If you believe players of Lowry's caliber will take championship over big money, you are insane.

    $10M in Toronto vs $9M in Miami/Houston isn't much of a difference in all honesty because of the major difference in taxes. Basically equal in terms of salary, but Toronto has a higher cost of living and they are less likely to win.

    Miami will not be able to offer 9 mil after signing Lebron, Wade, Bosh, Haslem, and the rest of their core players. The most the Heat will have will be the mid level exception worth 5 mil.

    Rockets should do a SNT for Lowry giving the Raptors Lin IF plan A does not go through.

    Whoa, this just got crazy -- Canada has suspended Landry's passport and he can't leave the country -- he's at the US embassy now.
