I'm a huge Lowry homer, but I'm kinda nervous... I really hope he can stay healthy
If at the end of last season, someone told me the Raptors would have a lineup with Gay and Lowry, I would go nuts or call bullshit. Two of my favorite players before they were even Raptors
Agreed. I am pumped. A full season of backing up Calderon and fuming would have been terrible. Let's see what he's got. If his start to the season was any indication than this should be a nice development.
First order of business after hearing about the deal was plugging him into the starting line-up of one of my fantasy league. I'm expecting a relieved Lowry to start playing without looking in the rearview mirror right away; semi-injured or not.
yep now DC will have no choice but to run Lowry out there every night.. time will tell this could turn out sooo many ways for us.. hopefully it goes well & Lowry can stay heathy
+1....I basically hoped Lowry would be sort of a cross between a poor man's CP3 and Chancey Billups... I think that's one heck of a talented PG and we've gotta find out if he can be the future of the position for real.
I can't help imagining Colangelo and Casey repeating a scene from Moneyball right now:
BC: "You can't start Calderon at first tonight. You have to start Lowry."
DC: "Yeah, I don't want to go fifteen rounds. The starting lineup is mine."
BC: "The starting lineup is definitely yours. I'm just saying you can't start Calderon."
DC: "Well I am starting him."
BC: "I don't think so. He's plays for Detroit now."
DC: "You traded Calderon?"
BC: "Yeah, and Davis too."
DC: "You are outside your mind."
BC: "Yeah, cuckoo."
