Report: Lowry re-signs @ 4yr/$48M w/ETO after 3rd year

[Letter N]

Me too.. I'm just really worried about Jonas' silly defensive flaws.. if he doesn't show any improvement on his defense, then maybe it's time for Masai to look for trade opportunities? Not saying that we should trade Jonas because of his flaws, but if we can get someone special then why not?

I hope Jonas is working hard. Next season will be very important for his future.

Disagree, you don't trade promising big men before they've even hit 25. Big men take time to develop.

[OptimalOptimist]

anyone else think GV doesn't come back and they roll with De Colo/Williams?

Nope.

[mjt20mik]

Not reaching at all. Statistically only those 3 were more productive than Kyle (leaving out Rose because he hasn't played for 2 years).

Using one year as a sample size isn't that great. I've read and seen the advance stats with Lowry and its just absurd how well he did last year. I hope he continues, but at this point I just don't think he's top 5 material.

But again, the sky is the limit for these guys.

Just woke up and opened a newspaper, this is the first thing I read.

Great start to the morning

Lowry's numbers last year are not that far off from his numbers the previous 3 seasons. The difference is he was given the keys to the team and was actually on a good team.

WOOOOOO!!!!!! Thank God I was wrong!!! I am so happy right now! Now time to get PPatt and Vasquez locked up! In Masai I trust. Get it done!

Amen. We need GV. KL will likely miss some games just due to his style of play.

Lou Williams will help.

For those who harbour thoughts we may have overpayed. Kyle looks good in this range. Its the 2014-15 Salary Scale for PG's. Framed against some other deals he looks like a bargooon ! Irving got 18M$ and on any given night Kyle has been his equal or better. Then there is that really bad deal for Deron Williams and equally as bad for Steph Curry. Williams is not value for that money and Curry under bid himself.

Put in context KL is not overpaid. We all hope he stays in shape and continues to work hard--I think he will.

Bolded the PGs that are better than Lowry. Only Curry makes less and that's cause Warriors took advantage of his injury (plus he wasn't an established star when he got his $$$)

[mjt20mik]

Well in some categories. He had a career season in terms of just his basic stats. The advanced stat that I was mainly focused on was his win share (11.7 in 2013 compared to 5.6 in 2012).

[ceez]

so word is Indy wants Dragic
Suns want project Pat
We want Ennis

wonder if there's a way we can work some kind of 3 way trade out. stupid trade machine isn't set up to work yet.

[Reyaz123]

LOL yea he will, that playoff experience this year will only make him unleash his inner kobe (we saw that, been there, done that) you do have a point though

With Lowry back, how does Ennis help us? We need Patman before we need Ennis.. no?

we're not going to be able to offer PP as much money as a lot of teams and we're not going to be able to offer him a starting spot like a few teams. i just can't see PP coming back. It is what it is.

We do need a backup PG and i'd rather have Ennis on his rookie deal than GV at 5 mil (plus?) per

I still don't think Pat wants to come back and play the minutes he did.
