Kyle Lowry getting interest from Los Angeles Lakers

The Los Angeles Lakers are desperate to pair a second star alongside LeBron James, and they’ll explore other options in the event that their bumbling pursuit of Anthony Davis falls through.


Deveney notes that Lowry may become available if Kawhi Leonard were to leave in free agency, and that the Lakers could potentially secure Lowry without surrendering as many valuable assets as it would for a younger star.

Lowry would make sense on several fronts for the Lakers. In terms of ability, Lowry’s team-first mentality would fit perfectly on a roster full of scorers. Lowry’s playmaking would create easier shots for the likes of LeBron James and Kyle Kuzma, and Lowry is also happy to play off the ball as a floor spacer. Lowry would even give the Lakers a much-needed boost on defense, as the veteran guard remains quick with his hands and routinely is among the league leaders in charges.

It would also make sense financially. The 33-year-old Lowry is entering into the last year of his contract, which would allow the Lakers to roll over their cap room to 2020 if they strike out on their free agency targets this summer. In the meantime, Lowry would at least help the Lakers be more competitive in the immediate future, as Lowry has led the Raptors to six-straight playoff appearances.

Having said that, it’s no guarantee the Raptors would even want to part with Lowry. If Leonard were to stay, there would be no point in flipping Lowry for prospects as it would only make the team less competitive in the short run. And even if Leonard walked, the Raptors may want to retain their franchise cornerstone to oversee the transition.

However, if the Raptors did decide on a full-scale rebuild, flipping Lowry for a younger player would make sense. The Lakers own all their first-round picks moving forward, and have a host of promising pieces such as Kuzma, Brandon Ingram, Lonzo Ball and Josh Hart.

Lowry averaged 14.2 points, 8.7 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 65 appearances with the Raptors this season.

Lowry is 33

That has to be a typo

Honestly I've always thought prime Lowry was the perfect point guard to play with Lebron James.

He can play off ball, he can shoot, he's a great playmaker in non Lebron minutes, problem is he's on the decline and no longer the same guy.

This is way too late.

The Lakers have no clue what they're doing.

No thanks rather put the house on Bradley Beal than this guy

 

[Egomaniacal1]

I think they put this out there to make Kyrie rethink his position if he’s at all on the fence.

 

[Kwabena]

We’ll take Kuzma. Please and thanks

 

[PortCityProphet]

Y’all believe anything as long as it pertains to the Lakers. If I was in the media and needed a little clout, I’d post a baseless rumor and get my numbers up. Who the fukk is Sean deveny and show me one trade he’s broken?

Its the easiest numbers booster in sports.
Make up a ything about the Lakers send it out there and watch your clicks go up

 

[JackRoss]

It is true

How do you know?

 

[ALonelyDad]

Sean Deveany is a good reporter, could be some truth to it. It's not out of this world to think if Lakers do miss out on Davis and do 1 year deals again that they would take on Lowry's expiring. I don't see them trading anything valuable for it though, would be stupid as hell.

phil Jackson and Kobe can choke on a fat one and die. Never seen a whole organization conspire against one superstar this much. Shytting on Lebron's run to preserve their own.
