To be specific, what if their opportunity looks like this?
Lowry will agree to 3/90ish with the 3rd year very lightly guaranteed.
TOR will send him via sign-and-trade.
They will take Powell and Richardson as the salary match going the other way, which gets you close enough ($89,678,346 over 3 years).
Everyone will say yes to that. But alter those details, and it changes the desirability.
And what if it's Lowry for KP instead? Many would be gleeful at that.
So yes, I'm in favor of Lowry for Powell-Richardson, and probably Lowry for KP (if it then yields THJ plus Holmes as KP's replacement).
That's why I laid out the issues in the initial post. Presuming he's going to be brought in by sign-and-trade. I don't think it's possible to get the third year lightly guaranteed given the Pels' competition. So it goes back to, are you in, or out given those circumstances?
