He has been in the league since 2006 and has been a key piece to the Toronto Raptors’ success for the last nine years, including winning a championship in 2019. But the 34-year-old is in the last season of his contract, and the rumblings are growing about a possible trade.</p><p><a href="https://www.inquirer.com/sixers/philadelphia-sixers-trade-rumors-kyle-lowry-toronto-raptors-20210225.html" rel="noopener">Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer</a> highlights the Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Clippers as three potential trade destinations for Lowry. While all three would be good fits for the veteran, Pompey reports Lowry would welcome a trade home to Philly to play alongside Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons on the Sixers.</p><p>Being that Kyle Lowry is from Philly, it has likely been his dream since adolescence to play at home. It seems like it could come to fruition after the Sixers failed to acquire James Harden, but it would take a lot to get done:</p><blockquote>The source believes the Sixers and Raptors might be able to get something done. But if it comes to that, Toronto would most likely want some picks, young players, and veterans with expiring contracts for Lowry, who’s making $30 million this season.</blockquote><p>It sounds possible the Raptors choose to trade Lowry away <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/raptors-rumors-some-toronto-personnel-believe-a-kyle-lowry-trade-needs-to-happen/" rel="noopener">in order to prepare for the future.</a> Although they’re currently in the playoff race with a 16-17 <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/toronto-raptors/records" rel="noopener">record</a>, they likely aren’t a title contender and could do a small <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/toronto-raptors/roster" rel="noopener">roster</a> reset of sorts with younger stars like Pascal Siakam and OG Anunoby still leading the way to the postseason.</p><p>This is all speculation at the moment. While Toronto has had success without Kyle Lowry of late, perhaps the franchise will decide to attempt one more title push with the veteran point guard. If the Raptors do decide to trade him or he asks out, they will surely attempt to do right by him and get him to a contender, though they’ll still want to maximize his return.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Doc Rivers and his team understand that they can bring in another piece that provides energy and hustle on both ends of the floor. As Raptors guard Kyle Lowry has been on the trade block, there is a possibility that the Sixers can pull a trade for Toronto.</p><p>At 34 years of age, Kyle Lowry continues to prove that he can still play at a high level. Since Kawhi Leonard left the Raptors behind, Lowry has been the leader to set the tone for the franchise. His 19.4 points averaged a season ago was the biggest piece in Toronto’s 53-19 record.</p><p>The Raptors haven’t had the strongest start through two months of this season. They currently stand at 16-15 on the season and seem to want to go another route. As Lowry continues to get older, he must be placed in a position where he can help a team win another championship. For the Philadelphia 76ers to make a successful trade for a Lowry, they must find the right pieces to give up to secure the all-star.</p><p>As Lowry has an expiring contract of $30 million, the team will find a way to match the contract. The way that the Sixers can make a fair offer is to trade away some of their expiring contracts as well. Players like Danny Green, Mike Scott, and Terrance Ferguson are all becoming free agents by the end of this season. If the Sixers can trade the three of them along with a few future draft picks, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/raptors-news-norman-powell-rips-nba-for-approved-list-of-social-justice-statements/">it makes the trade</a> successful to secure Kyle Lowry from Toronto.</p><p>The beauty of the trade from Toronto’s point of view is they acquire Danny Green, who won a championship with the Raptors in 2019. Green has averaged 8.8 points this season along with 38% from three. The 12-year veteran can potentially matchup with Fred VanVleet in the starting backcourt for Toronto.</p><p>If Kyle Lowry is acquired from Toronto, the trade takes Philadelphia to another level. The team should continue to place their younger players around guys who have championship experience. Lowry showed to be a huge part of the Raptors’ 2019 NBA Finals victory over Golden State. As he still has a lot left in the tank, Lowry’s presence will be a major factor for Philadelphia in the postseason.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Even without the presence of their veteran leader in Kyle Lowry, the Raptors managed to turn things around as they snagged a 16-0 record in their last 16 games without the six-time All-Star who remains to be ruled out due to an ankle injury, via <a href="https://twitter.com/statmuse/status/1363864972342661120">StatMuse</a>.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">The Raptors are 16-0 in their last 16 games without Kyle Lowry.</p><p>(Submitted by <a href="https://twitter.com/WhatsGoingHan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@WhatsGoingHan</a>) <a href="https://t.co/97EIBkrdJs" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/97EIBkrdJs</a></p><p>— StatMuse (@statmuse) <a href="https://twitter.com/statmuse/status/1363864972342661120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">February 22, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>More than anything, the statistic suggests that the Raptors are playing with a better dynamic without Lowry at the helm. With their good showing as of late, it will not be surprising anymore if the team’s front office is already setting the gears in motion to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sixers-eyeing-big-trade-after-missing-out-on-james-harden-could-kyle-lowry-come-home/">part ways</a> with the veteran point guard.</p><p>If they choose to do so, the Raptors can even get a bevy of assets in return as Lowry remains to be an intriguing commodity in the open market. He will certainly attract a number of teams who are looking to add more depth in their backcourt rotation.</p><p>In light of his absence, point guard Fred VanVleet has been handling the playmaking duties and has played well in recent games. Paskal Siakam, Chris Boucher, Norman Powell, and OG Anunoby are also contributing a ton of things whenever they are on the floor.</p><p>To further prove their newfound resurgence, the Raptors surprisingly toppled the East’s top team in the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night via a 110-103 victory to further stretch their win streak to four games. With a 16-15 record, it will definitely be interesting to see whether or not the Raptors can sustain their momentum once Kyle Lowry rejoins the team in the near future.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
