At least you admitted it.I'm probably looking at this all wrong but I remember MEM trading Lowry to HOU and seems like despite his production he had issues meshing in HOU (also Jazz did beat him in the playoffs) so off he goes to TOR where for the first time seems like he is a player worth keeping. Patterson who many here liked in the draft as a back up PF was drafted by HOU traded to SAC and then off to TOR.
This is probably my dislike of HOU but just seems like we'd be taking HOU's castoffs and I don't like that idea or feeling (again I admit I'm probably looking at this in the wrong way).
Houston didn't let him walk, they trade him for one of the first round picks that was turned into James Harden. Memphis moved him, but also received a first round pick.Houston let him walk at the same time they let Dragic go. I'd want to know more about the circumstances there. I'm wary of players who change teams more than a few times. Sometimes guys get paid and they don't care as much anymore. The Jazz are building a culture based around working hard and improving individually. Lowry would need to fit that and help lead it.
A guy with his skills shooting/scoring would put the Jazz on a higher level though.
Career he has shot just under 42%/35%. He'll be 30 next year. So those numbers AREN'T likely to improve and will start to go down. I realize we've suffered through lousy PG's since Deron left, but that is NOT the kind of shooting we need...especially given his big contract. We'd trade all those assets (and have to give up Booker as a cap casualty) for a player who is under contract for 2 more years and then has a PLAYER option. Oh yeah, do we have a chance of bringing Tomic over if we've used up most of our cap in the trade?
No thanks. Lowry is certainly an upgrade over Burke but not a big enough one to justify all the assets lost.
He's on a fantastic contract! He's barely making more than Booker.
HUH? Isn't Lowry making $12M?

Yeah, he is making 12 million a year for the next 3 years. Siro gon Hack style making statements without a fact check.

I miscounted how many seasons hes played. But ya, that equals not fact checking.
Let's see. What was your last non fact checking statement. You said when making a trade salaries have to match up regardless if you are under the cap. Wrong. Next time fact check before you make statements. K?
How the hell can you call yourself a basketball fan and not even know how trading works? Please don't post any trades. K?
We all got our Hack moments.
Is it working for you?Just goes to show that the way to gain respect for your basketball knowledge on Jazzfanz is to call everyone dumbasses just as soon as you can, so as to hide your true colors of ignorance and not understanding wtf is going on. Because for some reason the majority of people believe aggressive retards over sound logic.
