Honestly I think the Raps have no choice but to resign Lowry.
Had you guys actually tanked when they traded Gay, when they lost to Washington or lost in the first round to Indy before going to the ECF & resigning Derozan it would have been perfect to blow it up but now really is a rough time to just hit the hard reset button.
I think you sign Lowry with the intention to making some minor fixes, firing Casey & trading him and Derozan after next season if things look bleak going forward. I just don't think it's wise to lose a player of his caliber for nothing given the success you guys have had. As much as I'm for the tank being a Sixers (and Lakers) fan I think the Sixers were in a much much worse position both team and business wise. They were capped out, not even a playoff team and had no picks when Hinkie took over. Toronto has built a winning culture and ran into a juggernaut. While teams like Milwaukee and others are on the come up, it's worth it to compete for the next year or 2 & start the rebuilding process then as opposed to now. You let Lowry walk now and sell Derozan leave and you could easily be 5 years away from even sniffing the playoffs let alone competing.
