Simmons has Lowry ranked 16th in his annual trade value column:
http://grantland.com/features/2015-n...emple-of-doom/
A fun “Which team says no faster?” Trade Value argument: Lowry for Lillard! Let’s break it down:
Lowry: Turns 29 in March; bargain contract (four years, $48 million); elite defender; above-average creator and rebounder; slumping on 3s this season (32.1 percent); has a slightly higher game-to-game ceiling; the second-most intimidating on-the-court point guard after CP3; formerly moody/abrasive/brooding, now mostly cheery/supportive/intense; helping to carry the torch for the Tougher-Than-Tough Philly Basketball Legacy; beloved in T-Dot.
Lillard: Turns 25 in July; eligible for a max extension this summer; lousy defender who gets hidden away from any elite point guard; slumping on 3s this season (just 33.8 percent); a world-class heat-check guy and a world-class biggest-shot-of-the-game guy; chiller than chill; carrying the torch for the sneaky-delightful Oakland Point Guard Legacy; beloved in Rip City.
The Verdict: Both teams say no … but Toronto mulls over the deal for 0.23 seconds more only because of the four-year age difference and Lillard’s remarkable freestyle with Sway. Jesus! Was this the greatest rap-related moment in NBA history? I have it ranked 134 spots higher than Kobe and Tyra Banks.
Add everything up and Lillard is slightly more untradable … but if I were trying to win a 2015 playoff series only, I think I’d rather have Kyle Lowry right now.

The one part that I disagree with and think has been perpetuated as a reputation-based myth, is Lowry's defense. It certainly isn't elite, as Simmons refers to it as. I've been hugely disappointed with Lowry's defense since coming to Toronto and it's been a glaring weakness this season, as the Raptors' point-of-attack defense is the catalyst for most of the team's defensive breakdowns. I think Lowry's defense with the Raptors has been average at best, relative to league-wide expectations of a starting PG.
Personally speaking, if I was MU, I'd take that trade in a heartbeat - provided that Lillard expressed a commitment to re-signing. The Raptors aren't in win-now mode, so I'd take the long-view and go with Lillard hands down.

16 definitely seems high to me. I think Simmons view might be skewed by Lowry absolutely destroying Boston earlier in the season.
I know this is trade value, and not a list of the best players, but where does Lowry actually stack up in the NBAs best players? Is he even in the top 20? I'd say definitely not top 10.
This is one of the reasons that I give more credit to Casey than a lot of you do. The Raptors are succeeding despite having no players that are top tier players. I suppose you can make the argument that it is Casey that is holding them back from the top tier, but I'm not buying it.That is a normal collar. Move on, find a new slant.
