Why not just extend KL now if MU can work out at reasonable $$? As long as contract is not huge it should not have a huge impact on teams looking for a PG. If MU doesn't get the deal he wants he still has KL at reasonable $$.

Extend Lowry?

Because he requested a trade, for one.
Because he's playing this hard to get an unreasonable contract, for another.
I think that about settles it.
I like Kyle and I like his game but he's also not consistent enough for that contender we keep talking about and he won't be happy coming off of the bench.

His consistency has improved.
I even made a point of questioning whether Kyle should be traded myself a few weeks back.
I think he's a good player.
But let's pretend he didn't ask for a trade (no real professional would ever say they did, let's be real), he will still ask for more than we want to pay. There's no way around it.

He is worth his contract now, but he is set to get a healthy raise and I feel the PG position is one of the strongest in the league, and we could get equivalent (or greater) skill for lesser cost.

why would he extend now and possibly leave a year and a guaranteed $6-8M on the table?
Any extension can only be done for 3 years. By waiting 7 months, he can add an extra year to what will likely be his last big pay day.

Kyle immediately becomes liability if we sign him now. I love Kyle, his mentality is great and he's playing really well for the past few weeks, but I think we should trade his a$$. Teams are interested, if we can get pick(s) or couple future players for him then why not? ( I know right, Masai made me think like it's video game ) *I would love to see Greivis as our starter PG just for this season... :-)*
