Lowry is having a career year. Shouldn't we try to resign him for a decent contract before trying to trade him? I mean realistically MU, can't actually trott out Buycks as our starting pg in the name of tanking and expect to sell any tix can he? Lowry would be a great player to keep at a value contract.

Realistically the Raptors have some pieces that might make Chicago a better team this year while also taking them out of the luxury tax... which is a huge concern for the Bulls and the revenue sharing that goes along with it.
The issue with the Raptors is the hard cap of $75.75M and the Bulls are actually $7.5M over the luxury tax.
I'm in full on rebuild/tear down mode thinking there so bear with me:
1) Raps makes 3 deals with Atlanta first:
a) DeRozan for Williams/Jenkins/2014 1st (top 5 protected)
b) Vasquez for Schroeder
c) Amir for Brand and Scott
Cuts $5M in salary, two great assets (prospect and pick), and $10M more in cap space this summer for Toronto; Atlanta gets much, much stronger.
2) With Atlanta deal done, Raptors call up Chicago:
a) Lowry, Hansbrough, Daye, 2nd rd for Boozer, Charlotte 2014
b) TPE for Hinrich
Raptors get a likely late lotto pick; Bulls get better in short term and save a whole lot of money (like $30+M).
Raptors lineup for rest of year:
PG: Hinrich, Schroeder, Buycks, Stone
SG: Ross, Williams, Jenkins
SF: Fields, Salmons, Scott
PF: Boozer, Patterson, Novak
C: JV, Brand, Hayes
*someone has to be waived.
That is a specTANKular lineup.
For 2014-15, only about $46M on the books.
Draft night Raps have own pick, Charlotte top 10 protected, and the better of BKN/ATL with enough financial flexibility to be a dumping ground for more prospects or picks.

The Lakers will fall apart if they don't get PG help soon.. they should be actively pursuing Lowry.Twitter - @thekid_it

If George Hill goes down to injury (not that I wish for that), we could give up Lowry and Fields for Granger (trade machine checks out).“The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority.” - Martin Luther King
