2021 FREE AGENCY: Markkanen wants out of CHI | DAL "definitely interested"

[mvossman]

I have no issue with Lowry other than his age.

I am confused why we want a starting PG at Lowry's salary level when we already have the best PG/PF in the game? That seems to be a lot to pay for giving Luka a rest every few possessions. Seems like hiring Isaiah Thomas while you still have Magic Johnson in your starting lineup. Great to have the talent on the team, but not sure how the workload splits up.

Because he would be by far our best perimeter defender.  Because he is the secondary play maker and creator that we desperately need.  Because he has plenty of history playing off ball and doing it well.  Honestly the fit is just about perfect.  The only issue is the age.
