Miami Heat Receive: Kyle Lowry
Toronto Raptors Receive: Goran Dragic, Kelly Olynyk
Kyle Lowry would team up with Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo and create a bit of a big three with the Miami Heat. They not only face a need to add a player like Lowry to turn things around in the short-term, but he would also help the team to reach new heights come playoff time.
If the Miami Heat view themselves as a win-now team, this would be a fit. The Heat have plenty of assets but they would not have to part ways with them given the current age and situation surrounding Kyle Lowry.
Goran Dragic would be the big piece going back to Toronto. It makes sense that the Raptors would want a replacement at the position if Lowry is sent away. Kelly Olynyk is a veteran option on a short-term deal that would also be sent to the Raptors. This is a low-risk move for Toronto.
Let’s take a look and see how this deal would help both sides accomplish their goals moving forward.
