Lowry is going to be good at facilitating our offense and playing pretty good defense on our way to 35 wins. He might get mentioned in the 3rd team defensive team, if we give him a big enough role for that, in a couple of years. But all-star? As in the popularity game? There's just no way. A LOT of guys will have to be injured for that to happen.

Unless Bynum is part of the deal, it would never be accepted by Toronto and BC would never dare to rattle the rabid fan base like that.

In a perfect world Nash gets his ring and the Raptors have made major strides during his 3 year contract with LA. Wouldn't mind Nash having a fair well tour in a couple years backing up hopefully Lowry if all pans out. The way Nash plays the game he realistically could be able to play for a number of years after his current contract albeit a different role of course.

i think that kobe will let nash do his thing because he knows he has an easier job now. kobe is a lot about him himself but he is all about winning. he is still going to toss up 20+ shots a night but they will be passed to him in spots he likes instead of right across half court.

Nash runs the hell out of it, so it's going to be a huge change that the players may not be able to adjust to. Nash needs the ball in his hands and there is no guarantee that Kobe will be able to play off of Nash in those situations. Plus Nash is a downgrade defensively from Sessions, imo. This could end up blowing up in LA's face if players can't adjust to how Nash runs offence.
As far as why would Toronto want him, he would be a good fit in our pick n roll heavy offence with JV, Amir, and Bargs. He'll have plenty of spot up shooters like in Phoenix with Bargs, Kleiza, and Ross.
There's no question in my mind Nash "fits" better in Toronto, but with talent alone the Lakers will win more games and that's what it comes down to for Nash.
Defensively, they suffer, but overall, they hit the jackpot. My question comes after these few years? When Nash retires, Kobe thinks about retiring, and Pau is not what he used to be. They have no youth to transition to after Bynum (who will improve with Nash).

short answer: hell no. We tried, now best of luck to LA and Nash. We're taking a better route.

I'd still take Nash if he was willing to come to Toronto even in a trade... Lowry is a good player, but Nash is a difference maker and not just on the court.
As for Lowry being an all-star.. there is lots of competition out east for that. He'll have to battle the likes or Rose, Rondo, DWill, Wade, Joe Johnson, Ellis, Jennings, Lin, Irving, Wall, Holiday. It's possible, but not easy. I think Bargnani has a better chance, since he'd have less competition.

Lowry will be in the conversation for the all-star team next year.
I would love to have Jose as a backup PG, but do you really see Jose playing 16 minutes a game? He will be traded sooner rather than later. I can't see either Lowry or Calderon playing more than spot minutes at off guard, so there's only 48 minutes of time at PG and Lowry will be playing at least 32 of them.

The Nash in LA situation blows up in their faces, and both parties realize they've made a terrible mistake. The trade deadline is fast approaching. If Jose is still here, do you do the old switcheroo? LA would be motivated by the expiring contract, and Toronto, well, we all know why the Raps wanted him.
Personally, I think absolutely not, since we've got Lowry, but this was posed to me at work today.
Thoughts?
