Kyle Lowry – Toronto Raptors
Over the years, Kyle Lowry has been the leader of the Toronto Raptors and one of the main reasons they raised their first banner in franchise history after winning the 2019 NBA Finals. Last year, Lowry continued to play at a high-level, making his 6th consecutive NBA All-Star Game appearance and averaging 19.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 7.5 assists and shooting 35.2% from three-point range.
While he will be turning 35-years old this season, Kyle Lowry is still playing like he is in the prime of his career and has shown no signs of slowing down. Pairing him up with the Clippers’ current two NBA All-Stars could be exactly what this organization needs to make a legit title push this year and down the line.
In order to make a trade like this work, Los Angeles would have to trade Williams, Beverley and Marcus Morris Sr. as they already have Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, who add up to about $70M in salaries.
With three NBA All-Star talents in Kyle Lowry, Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George, the Los Angeles Clippers would absolutely solidify themselves next to the Lakers as the teams to beat in the Western Conference and they should have no problem reaching their first Conference Finals in team history.
Steve Ballmer and the Clippers want to do everything they can to bring home a championship within the next few seasons and trading for Kyle Lowry presents them with the best opportunity to do so. They would be giving up three veteran players for one veteran NBA All-Star to help them win immediately, which is exactly what this franchise needs.
