Would you trade Lowry for another top 10 pick in this draft?

His past success was from the underdog role, this time he is supposed to lead us to victory; that is an entire new type of pressure that he hasn't yet shown success with.

This is a tough one. If Ujiri thinks that DeRozan plus picks and/or other expendable assets nets a legit superstar over the next 2 years then keeping Lowry makes sense. You won't win a championship with the DeRozan + Lowry combo as your best 2 players, and I don't know that Lowry would resign if the franchise just let DeRozan walk and used the money elsewhere rather than pay him the max, so if you're keeping Lowry then the goal had better be to find someone far better than DeRozan to pair him with. To do that, you'd have to resign DD and then engineer a trade or risk pissing Lowry off by letting DeMar walk for cap space.
So can DeRozan plus assets get you the true franchise player you need to win a championship while Lowry is still in his prime? Is that opportunity even lurking out there? Or is the goal just to trot a good but not great team out every year and hope you pull a Mavs and have that one great year that leads to a championship?
I think if you want to build a contender, you bite the bullet and make that trade. But it would take a GM with 100% guaranteed job security to make that move right now.
