Lakers are attracted to big names, Lowry isn't one of them. They wont throw crazy money at him, they likely rather throw crazy money at Love or Melo.

2015 (Love and LeBron), 2016 (Durant) are likely in their sights. I'd be shocked if they blow all their future cap space this summer.

Nash has already said he won't turn down $9.5M.
Even if he retired, the Lakers still lose the cap space unless they agree to a buyout (and then the buyout becomes the cap hit).

I am told it'll take 10-12M per 4 TR 2 retain Lowry. Lakers should make strong play 4 him. Nash must 1st retire & open up cap xtra cap space

10-12M a year though sounds fine, hopefully it's closer to the bottom of that range though

Vecsey is completely useless as a source. His last useful scoop was pre-internet.
