I don't think any of what could happen involves either GM being dumb. It would involve both making the most of the opportunities available to them. Again, if LA really wants Lowry, and values him more than say, the 7th pick in this draft, I don't see why they wouldn't at least check with Toronto about the possibility of a S&T, especially *if they want to offer him 5 years, and since if they can unload Nash, they'd be adding very little to their caphit going into next year. And if Toronto has no intention of meeting a super-high price for Lowry (which there have also been rumours about them not being willing to do), I don't see why they wouldn't see what opportunities are there in the S&T market.
*I think you're taking for granted that because Kyle is playing well and so is the team, they will do anything and everything to keep him. Don't think Masai is that type of GM. He's not a fan getting lost in the hype of a great season. Would not be at all surprised if there's a pricetag limit that Masai simply won't meet. And also wouldn't be surprised if he has multiple scenarios revolving around this situation already, from S&Ts, to what his limit will be, to what replacements can fit in, etc....There is more than one possible outcome, and we have no way to know which one is more likely, so it's totally worth discussing possibilities.
