Toronto Raptors Receive: G Kyle Lowry, 2023 First-Round Pick (MIA), 2027 First-Round Pick (MIA)
Miami Heat Receive: G Fred VanVleet
It feels wrong to imagine Lowry back in a Raptors uniform without touching on how much he meant to this organization in his prime.
For many years, Lowry was a perfect example of a modern point guard for this team. He was a lethal shooter who could leverage his three-point gravity into layups, but he was also able to set up teammates as well.
That meant the Raptors were consistently competitive. When Lowry and DeMar DeRozan were running the show, they were playoff fixtures.
However, the Raptors wouldn’t taste championship glory until DeRozan headed elsewhere.
