Perhaps. more importantly its about team building, and while Lowry might not, the other Kings team members who are currently starved of shots might very well.
Thing is though, Lowry and Gay did not work well together in Toronto. Maybe that's just coaching. maybe better structure here, the presence of Cuz, cleans that all up. But its something to consider. Maybe even something we have already considered.
Nice thing about Lowry BTW, is that we might well be able to keep IT as well. They aren't going to trade Lowry just to recreate IT/Vasquez on their end. On the other hand the fact of the matter is with Gay and Cuz both on max contracts last year, there is only room to pay one major PG going forward. At the end of this year IT will be looking to get paid. Like Nate before him he may find that market a little soft, or he may not, hard to tell. IT presents himself a little better. But either way we won't have room to be paying him and Lowry, or him and anyone, $15mil combined or anything. So whoever is going to be our starter, we need to get him and commit to him. Maybe you can commit MLE money to IT as a 6th man behind the starter if the starter isn't too expensive. Otherwise even if you keep IT you're going to lose him anyway over the summer unless he's the one PG you decide to pay.
